no comment

Leo los comments muy de vez en cuando. Hoy miré y noté que van de mal en peor, acaso como este blog. La calidad de los comments es una cosa muy de múltiples equilibrios: comments malos atraen comments malos y buenos atraen buenos. Así que saquemos un rato la mierda a ver si se van las moscas.

Posteé, y al rato encuentro esto:

In the comments controversy of the economics blogosphere, where some economics blogs (such as EconLog) allow comments on every post, while others (such as Tim Harford's website) have no comment function, Marginal Revolution only opens the Comments section on selected posts. Tyler Cowen's explanation, given September 15, 2005 [2], is that regular availability of comments causes a lower quality than periodic availability; when the poster (Cowen or Tabarrok) sets his own course, he can choose to solicit comments when the subject "involves particular facts and decentralized knowledge". This is an attempt to allow an accretion of previously unknown data and informed opinions on more esoteric subjects while avoiding repetitive flame wars on subjects such as "evolution, free will, or Paul Krugman".
