personally, I happen to think that the comments in alot of cases detract from the news part of the site. In the coffee room, it’s just that- a coffee room and everyone expects everyone to share their opinions, thoughts…
but when you come on to check the news, and one comments “oh, how nice…” “wow. so they are now being ‘nice’ to everyone…” and then the next commenter: “#1, how could you say such a thing!! Don’t you know…” “That Rav should have…”
I don’t think these comments enhance at all.
