It’s old news now, so you’ve probably read about Popular Science shutting down their comments section in September. Other similar sites immediately followed suit, while most chose to keep that part of their web pages open. This major event has led a lot of us to consider whether or not the ability to comment directly on an article is a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps it’s both, for different reasons, at the same time.

Yes, there are some people who need to bring article writers off their high horses and back to Earth.
