Sadly, what has happened is that comments on all sites have included so much bigotry and personal attacks and are so hard to moderate effectively that more and more sites close comments on many articles or simply don't allow comments at all. Then there!s the National Post that allows the most awful comments! The CBC site is now wildly unpredictable on when comments are allowed - today we can comment on Michael Enright's speculative and questionable article on Hillary Cinton's loss (lots of anti-Clinton rubbish there) but not on Jagmeet Singh's win. The Harper-appointed CBC Board seems determined to try to make the corporation as irrelevent as it can before their terms end. The Globe's current posting system is absurd - what it had before made far more sense.
