Recently I was reading a blog where someone had posted a fairly snotty comment, then tried to justify it by saying the comment section was a 'common area' and therefore should be open to any kind of comment.
This was the blog owners response ---------
Because I am the only one who can decide what to do with comments and how to moderate them, and because I'm the only one who can change the settings to allow/disallow certain kinds of commenting, and because I'm the only one who can write or alter the content here, this makes this area more like my living room, where I've invited people to stay and chat. If they're nasty, I can kick them out of my house.
