Thanks for this. This is exactly our viewpoint and what we are trying to do.

Thanks for giving it a look.

:-)

Thanks for all this. We'll look into it. Perhaps we tried to be too "cool" by half....

We've had people tell us the site is slow. We are looking into it. It seems somewhat hit or miss..... And do you mean the commenting process, or just the site itself?

Thanks for this great feedback. I get where you are coming from. I do -- I have much the same attitude after years of online discussions. And I get that it wouldn't be for everyone…

Ouch -- not good. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll look into this kind of thing -- others have said the same thing, that two sides of the same coin get treated differently. Thank you.

Hey! Thanks so much for giving a good effort and for letting us know what happened. This is exactly the kind of thing we need and want to know. I'm grateful. Glad you would be inte…

Yes, that's what we are looking for here! :-)

We've had that feedback from some folks and are trying to figure out the problem. Thanks for letting us know.

This is great feedback for us -- thank you. We are well aware that this type of tool will "push a lot of buttons", but we obviously believe that there is a place for it.

Well, yes, we think so, too. No tool will stop the determined bad actor.

Just to be clear -- we aren't "forcing" anyone to behave. We are trying to "nudge" and "educate". I also believe that if I have a blog with comments, it's perfectly fine for me to …

Indeed -- We'll look at it!

Not at all! We really appreciate the great feedback and comments. So much to think about. Interesting on the ESL comment -- gaming it! Great idea!

Interesting notion. One of the long term ideas is that people could earn some type of "Rhetoric Score" or something that would factor in to their ability to comment. Maybe there wo…
