Our Voice
I think our opinions matter, and are an important part of understanding- in relating to any experience or expertise we may have regarding any given topic. I also agree that moderation is due as there were many instances of anonymous bullying and threats being made in the past. The Yahoo experience would be better served & enjoyed by the masses if we could express/understand other points of view- as derived by the comment section of said article.
"See it from my point of view" means a lot when discussing controversial topics. There must be moderation, and signal words have been banned in the past. I don't see why we can't express ourselves in a Humane manner to achieve our point of reference of said "News" or topic. Otherwise it's just a version of validity to justify an opinion by the Author. We need comments to realize if our version or perspective is out of line- to gain an understanding of how the rest of the World interprets thoughts on any given subject. Without interaction, we fester our thoughts until we convince ourselves we are correct. Comments at least give us a moral repose to think about an alternate viewpoint and consider a different approach or understanding. I miss the banter of opposing views, and wonder where I would stand on issues without public confrontation. Comments are supposed to make you think, and a good story enlightens us to seek the meaning of what the Author meant to subvertly disclose- as a personal opinion. Bring back the comments section to allow us to express ourselves, and learn from other's life experiences/ interpretations.
