I’ve decided to try allowing (and moderating) comments on my blog. Moderating is essential, I think, basically because my name is at the top of the page, and the topics I blog about are contentious ones.
It’s a limited-time offer. Basically, if I find that moderating the comments becomes onerous, or that the comments just aren’t adding value, I’ll simply turn the comments feature off. We’ll see how it goes.
But for now, comment away!
