Reasonable discussions is always welcomed. What is reasonable is 
variable.

On many blogs there is always the potential to make it a REAL pain in 
the ass for the blog owner. Deleting lots of nasty posts that are off 
topic ever day takes hours. Off topic posts make people who would 
normally post thoughtful ideas go away. Very counter productive  to 
valuable conversation.

I have seen incidents where actual threats of physical harm have been 
made. This is not a random incident to take lightly. Some people will 
take there anger into the physical world AND
as we have seen here in Chapel Hill the Police will even read your blog 
and pretend to be the FBI to threaten high school students. Fortunately 
our police chief and town council won't tolerate this.

People don't start websites and blogs to be homes to trolls.
