I'm all for free commenting...but pointless, lazy commenting on a blog piece which is refreshingly personal and still more articulate than a lot of what is out there is..well, just lazy and pointless. @17 & 42

If bloggers are entitled to delete the comments they don't want to read, it sort of follows that, er, people aren't entitled to have their say wherever they want to have it. Petite is no more obliged to let people say whatever they want to say here than she would be to let them write on the wall of her house. I'm not really sure which bit of what I'm saying you disagree with?
