Many times I talked people out of having comments on their blogs...

I would warn them of the hassle they would deal with. Some listened. Others had to learn their lessons the hard way.

My response to them was always. If people want to respond to your press release or blog post... let them get their own web site and link back to yours. 

There are laws and rights and there is power and control. These days people seem to live in a lala land where they have forgotten about power and control. They have forgotten they traded their liberty for a little peace and security.

yep, this remember me the beginning of blogging on internet...

I'd say since I don't control the server I have only to trust the man who does to honor the T&C. No one can take away my freedom to speak but myself by keeping my mouth shut.

I have said for decades that if people want to say something unpopular they should get their own site and publish it. Don't beg the state to use force to make someone publish your ideas.
