I have loved the software and ideas you’ve come up with and enjoyed your blog over the years. But I think it’s poor form to write a purely political blog in the middle of it all and then immediately disable comments. It’s your blog, so you can do what you want, but I lost a lot of respect with that move. Let's Talk About The American Dream

We are slowly opening comments on older posts cc @JimPas – I tried to explain why I chose to make this decision for those specific posts. I want the discussion to be a diaspora across the entire Internet, not siloed here – take the discussion everywhere.

I agree… it is difficult to discuss when you want to take the discussion everywhere… It is like inviting everyone to party and they can go wherever they like at whatever time they wish…

The goal is to spread the word, not capture it all here, in those specific cases. Let’s keep re-opening old discussions on popular blog posts @JimPas @pfaffman

Maybe it would be better to allow discussion here and encourage links and references to discussions in other communities “all over the internet”?

There will be a discourse community of practice around our GMI initiative soon. Stay tuned.

Not sure for to act on this. Would you like for me to item them all via rails, or is there some way to know which should be reopened, or not re-opened?

Sounds interesting! Let me know how I can help!
