Sometimes I have to read the comments to understand other peopleтАЩs perspectives (why is it so polarizing that you would disable comments rather than just mute individuals? Could it have been a MISTAKE ? I am now curious how often this happens)
I went to the home page for FP and reviewed every article (showing) for every writer. They post the number of comments for each article. This is the only one which closed comments after one comment on the same day of publication. From my naive/quasi-libertarian perspective the simplest explanation is that it is a mistake.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. I tend to see this happening more when people have a liberal point of view, not being able to "handle" words so they just disallow them. It's not OK. Taking me back to the Covid days when SCIENTISTS who didn't tow the line were censored or mocked. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has an entire podcast dedicated to this very phenom.
The content was extremely polarizing imo but let's have the debate.
