    As a suggestion …

    will you (can you) set up the RSS feed to track comments on the posts as well? That way, readers can subscribe to your outstanding blog and to the comments separately?

    Colin MacKay does this on canuckflack … I don’t know that we do, but it’s a feature I enjoy on his blog.

    I’m hoping for a higher level of discourse than on the G&M comment page, where every discussion can be summarized as follows:

    1. Leftist pinkos can rot in hell.
    2. Rightist crypto-fascists are murdering puppies.
    3. Toronto sucks.
    4. No, it doesn’t.

    Cry Havoc!

    …and let slip the dogs of words.

    Well said, Andrew. That sort of immature behaviour should be kept where it belongs; in Mark Steyn’s columns.

    Any way you can disable comments? They’re lovely for smaller, more intimate blogs, but for widely read ones like this it’s nice to have the blogger as filter for what gets put up (to which the correct response is “Then don’t read the comments, Steve”).

    It would be really funny if McClelland were being ironic, but I suspect he isn’t.

  • Paul Wells

    Steve, I actually don’t decide comment policy, but if it gets really weird, I suspect we’ll disable them. I will do my part to keep it from getting weird by resisting comment-board debates.

    First time since commentsplease.com, so welcome back Mr. Wells.

    This will be interesting.

    Do you think you can get them to fix the page so that my back button works? Forcing people to stay on the same page after they get here doesn’t really do much to increase readership.

    Never mind. I just read Kady’s blog and realized it was the fault of my bookmark to the old address.
