After revisiting the post on Deerhunter and the comments from White about disabling comments I’ve chosen to disable them on mine – this is a more symbolic gesture than anything else as I haven’t really had all that many up until now but I think it’s an important step. There are blogs which aim to engage specifically through the comments section (although the only website I’ve seen this work is Alison Croggon’s) but I think that in general online content needs to move away from a position where the facility for comments is the norm.
