Anonymous comments dont mean shit and are a gigantic distraction. I can't imagine a more pernicious and disgusting use of people's time and it appals me that we are using the internet in that way. Name one thing that has come out of the commenting technology that has done any good? The Whitey tape rumors? The Alex Jones wing of the American culture?
People are ruder, more dismissive, and are able to spew the most inane nonsense, and we are wasting an enormous amount of collective intelligence and patience on them.
Do you have any idea how easy it would be to pay someone to post nonsense on Huffington Post / Facebook / or the NYTimes? Can't you read the repetition? Would I want the same people that are enraged at comments to actually waste time posting responses? ITS A MASSIVE WASTE OF ENERGY WHICH BENEFITS THE STATUS QUO!
