No Need to Explain Effects of Ending Reader Comments

August 21, 2020
 
 

To the Editor:

In response to the post about asking for sharing the effects of eliminating reader comments ("Does IHE Have a Responsibility to Share the Effects of Eliminating Reader Comments?"), I don’t see the need.

I am very happy that you eliminated the comments section, as it was usually the same small group of people contributing and the tone usually turned nasty. A vote for "no need to share the 'effects' of eliminating reader comments."
