User blog comment:AYET/Introduction to a new approach/@comment-3119203-20120522021120

I still prefer the straight-up comment slugfest, flames and all. It was virtually the only form of intellectual activity on blogs when it existed, and they were fun to read. Maybe it's just me, but I like seeing everyone's opinions and how they react between opinions. And that was a topic that everyone knew about, so everyone could add their opinion.
