If there was one feature I hate about Facebook is it’s comments. I wish you could turn them off, and people could simply just like or share posts on your normal Facebook Wall. Too often Facebook discussions get political and heated, when a post is only intended to provoke ideas and get people thinking. Too often the Internet causes people to reject unfamiliar or new ideas outright, without considering their merit. And we all feel the need to come up with a clever response to somebody’s post that we disagree with.

Over the years, I’ve been on and off about having comments on my personal blog. Because it’s slightly more difficult to comment on a blog then Facebook, I find the comments on my blog are a lot nicer and more thoughtful. I think people see personal blogs as more of a personal space, so they are more respectful, compared to the Facebook pages of individuals. At least that’s my take on it.
