User blog comment:NeonSpotlight/Where did comments go?/@comment-3358335-20120807145046

Where is the link to the proposal for this? This has been proposed many times and shot down by admins, moderators, and rollback users. I don't see how the opinion of so many people could have possibly changed since the last time I saw a discussion. So where does it exist?

Secondly, what does this "experiment" hope to accomplish. What are the expected results? Less comments being made? People won't argue? If you silence the press they won't disagree with the government either. Funny how that works.

What does it mean that "a majority vote does not necessarily mean that will be what we do" ? Is this not a community site? A wiki? A colloboration of many editors? If those editors want comments then the admin staff should be catering to what they want. I can't say I am surprised at this. It seems like another half-assed agenda item from the upper hypocrisy of the site.
