It’s interesting to look at the comments on the CiF article – mostly right-wing trolls (albeit with the odd intelligent point from right and left as well). Compare that with the comments on the same article at this blog and it really does look like a vindication of your comments policy, Richard. Comment at the Guardian may be “free” but it certainly isn’t useful (for the most part!)
you get an interesting set of comments on that website !
No author I know reads the comments on CiF – it is a land of very strange people
