I’m definitely with you on all of this. I got a very traditional training as a journalist in a very traditional journalism school back in the 1970’s in the US. They kept telling us we were being trained to be “the gatekeepers.” (I’m not kidding!) I was uncomfortable with that from the first moment. Seemed to me it was better to be a “gate opener,” or a “gate builder” or perhaps just tear down the fence. They looked at me like I was from outer space.

FWIW, Dave Winer’s blog thrives on his readers’ comments.

A blog with comments is an opportunity for conversation with your audience. And them back at you.
A blog without comments, is necessarily, one-sided; you’re effectively “talking to yourself.”

Anyway, where’s the value in having the discussion on another site?
