Yesterday on the subject of Stahler’s other comic on which comments have been banned to avoid contentious arguments, I wrote the following to gocomics,com.
“I believe it is time to remove the ‘cuffs’ from Jeff Stahler’s comic and allow him to receive the interest and respect of his followers. Preventing comments on his site to avoid controversy was ok up to a point, but it is time now to recognize that need no longer exists. The election is over.
Some of his recent arcs have been political but many have simply depicted humorous average situations. In addition, many very strong comments have appeared in the dozen or so other comic arcs to which I subscribe. They will continue, so why stifle reader ability to comment solely on his work? "
Question is, will I receive an answer?
Fair’s fair. You publish a guy’s comic with the ‘add a comment’ facility, you should not just decide to deny those comments because they are controversial. So long as they do not include threats of violence or overthrow of established institutions, they are just that, comments, words on paper, and readers should be allowed to respond on ignore them as they choose.
