The RP has given up allowing comments on his marvellous blog. I can understand why. Some of his posts were getting several dozen comments and some of these things were turning into regular flame-fests. But it made for fascinating, if sometimes uncomfortable reading.
I hope he feels able to turn them back on sometime soon though.

It is a sign of success when a comments section becomes a problem. Just about all big time blogs once had a comments section and had to shut them down when the blog became big enough to be a target/magnet for those that brought attitudes, but not insight. Or outshouted those who do.
It's good to see the Religious Policeman has hit the bigtime. A fine blogger.
Are you sure he's shut them off? I just managed to post there.
Could it have been a temporary thing? I hope so anyway.
Blogger and Blogspot definitely need to improve the way comments are handled.
Threaded comments are needed, along the lines of something like Slashdot.org.

The LiveJournal software is way, way more powerful and customiseable. Just some of its benefits:
1. threaded comments
2. comment reply notifiers from other people's journals
3. "Friends view" aggregation of journals
4. "Friends only" comments/views
5. blocking certain people from a journal/comments
and so forth. (2) is what I particularly miss - it means that if you comment in someone else's blog, and there is a reply, you will be notified of it. Here, you often only realise months later that someone replied to you.
I'm reasonably sure he's not really Saudi at all. I noticed him shut down comments completely for a while after some readers did a good job of proving why this was. When comments were enabled again, those comments were removed.
