Here’s a somewhat longer post I’d like to refer to: in that case an anonymous poster created an attack blog with a single purpose of defaming a company (likely competitor?). He was posing an expert, threw in accusations and personal attacks yet was spineless enough to remain nameless. No wonder the blog disappeared since then.

I do agree with you that blogs should allow comments.  

Wait, why? Because some people want to gain personal fame from the Blogosphere? It shouldn’t matter who is making a point, the point should stand on its own – is it valid or not. It doesn’t matter who these people are nor whether they say bad things or good things about people, products, processes, culture or society.

Actually, I think we’d be better off if anonymity was required in the blogosphere – then people wouldn’t have to tolerate certain A list bloggers, just because they are A list bloggers – ideas and opinions might be judged more fairly and there wouldn’t be hero worship.

But I do think that any blogs that don’t allow comments should be boycotted. If they want to sling arrows, they should be man enough to take them, too.
