Comments on: Do the comments add or subtract from your enjoyment of Crime Confidential? http://blog.timesunion.com/crime/do-the-comments-add-or-subtract-from-your-enjoyment-of-crime-confidential/11440/ Coverage of crime and corruption in the Capital Region Thu, 12 Dec 2013 01:58:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2 By: Comment Limit http://blog.timesunion.com/crime/do-the-comments-add-or-subtract-from-your-enjoyment-of-crime-confidential/11440/comment-page-1/#comment-72420 Comment Limit Wed, 02 May 2012 17:02:45 +0000 http://blog.timesunion.com/crime/?p=11440#comment-72420 Comments in “CC” or any other blog could be limited to one or two per user or a total of 30 to 40, as to avoid the mindless back and forth that occurs. Once the log goes past these amounts, the essence of the story is lost and suddenly it becomes a contest. The “Sidelines” blog is utterly un-readable due to the number of comments submitted by single users. The kid who supports CBA basketball is annoying with the repetitive nature of his comments. A limit would make that blog meaningful.

It can choose to allow readers to comment if it wants to or opt not to allow it. As a private business it is not preventing anyone from their 1st ammendment right to speak by not providing a forum. The decision is a business decision. If allowing comments brings more traffic to the site, the TU will allow them.

The government , under Obama ,is already trying to tell religious groups what they can do; silencing the public and having the government controlling the media(along with the complicity of the mainstream “media”) is the next logical step towards the US becoming the new USSR.

Many news sites provide this option.

It is fine to disagree, especially on topics such as the ones posted on this blog. But many of the comments I read do nothing to add to the discussion and are not constructive in any way.

I’m just hear for the angry comments.(I spelled here wrong on purpose. Who was ready to pounce?)

Sometimes they crack me up for the rest of the day. I’m with you Kathy (#8) – the snarkier the better. :-)
