Taking a page from marketing guru Seth Godin, I have decided not to allow comments on my blog posts. Like Seth, if I allow comments, I feel compelled to clarify or to answer every objection or to point out every flaw in reasoning. Second, it's time consuming and takes away from the time I have to research and write new posts. Third, I hate fighting comment spam, and finally, and most important for my audience, comments change the way I write. Instead of writing for everyone, I find myself writing in anticipation of the commenters, carefully choosing each phrase knowing someone will parse every word to infinity. That robs me of my voice and it robs my audience of my true opinions and feelings so I have decided to eliminate the problem. Thanks for reading.
