    By blocked, do you mean the Comment button just changes to a lighter blue while adding the comment text and doesn’t respond to clicking it? I’ve had that happen to me in the past, and if, after first saving the comment text elsewhere so I don’t have to retype it, I simply refresh (⌘-r or Ctrl-r) the webpage, I am able to post the comment text.
