But clearly some communities have more constructive discussion than others. I’d certainly never argue that all comments be eradicated everywhere. However, when the discussion is so unproductive, the signal-to-noise ration is so low, it provides a disincentive to actually have the kind of discussion that would uncover this “hidden wisdom”. Not only that, it undermines the content of the articles and–at least in my opinion–damages the credibility of the site.
