Eliezer, perhaps we find your argument so clear and persuasive that we don't have much to say about it directly, but we want to comment on something so all will see we are paying attention. Perhaps blogs comments need some sort of smiley nodding icon option, letting us indicate our pleasure with your post without needing words. :)

I think it cuts down on the trolls significantly as well.
More significantly it provided a method of allowing the community as a whole condem or reward patterns of thought/expression.
