It would seem to many that a science website is the exact place where commenting online should be allowed. The topics can be hard to grasp, the assertions can be controversial, people can simply disagree with a theory, experiment or article...and a comment section should be a great place to clear the water. But there's something sour in online commenting and, even at a fraction of the total number of comments, it's harming the ability for readers to really understand the articles they are reading...See why Popular Science is no longer allowing comments on their new articles...
