Dear Norm [1] and Jeff [2]--in the scope of things--you are the dualing forces here at REALNEO.
Despite your bickering, we need options at this site that will improve the ability to post materials, without one individual, group or other monopolizing the content.
I would propose that as content is added in blog format--the author of said blog--should have control over comment options. As in Facebook, authors of a post should have the option to delete comments posted to the blog entry or to close comments.
If an author decides that s/he would like to open the post to comments, then s/he may decide to repost the blog to the forum option still available at this site and never fully realized.
All parties at REALNEO should realize by now that they can delete their posts, if they feel that the intent of their content has been subverted by comments, but this is a drastic measure, not encouraged in the interest of free speech, since it currently deletes all content in the process.
We may also want to fully explain the following options with examples:
Just one person's opinion. Signing out.
