It's Your Right.

Description

I respectfully disagree with people who say that all people who disable comments, block comments, and hide comments are cowards who want to avoid debate, and that these features should go away.

I believe that's incorrect.

Someone like me gets many messages per day; all of which I appreciate, however, some people may get as many as 100 per day or 200 per day. On controversial stamps, they may get far more than that, and it clutters up their messages. Disabling comments are alright there.

Spammers come and go, and they get annoying. Hiding their comments is alright.
Trolls don't shut up, so hiding their comments and blocking them is understandable.

Blocking in general is a safety feature.

I don't hide comments unless they are purely harmful and I don't want them around, because I love the 1st amendment so much. Therefore, I will almost never hide or disable comments. If you post a stupid comment or you start trolling, I will just let you stay there, if only to mock you in front of everyone.

By the way, I said it was a right, and emphasized that idea for a reason. If it is indeed your right, then do not abuse it. :)

kthxbye.
