Perhaps. However, It would be foolish to discount the importance
comments play in the dialog that is the SI, from meeting the challenge
of the mandate, to reacting to each of the images. While that reaction
can certainly be cloaked in a personal silence, I believe that
eliminating comments would damage the SI beyond repair.

It's rather like insisting that those who visit a gallery not talk
about the exhibits.

I expect there are contributors to [SI] who don't care whether their
entry is commented on or not. I doubt there a contributors who become
upset if they receive comments of any kind.

[SI] is a public place and if you really can't tolerate your work
receiving comments, then don't submit your work.

This is no big deal. It's probably happening already.

You must have missed my concession post. I am done bitching about my
position on this subject.

Write comments if you feel like it, do whatever you care to. Just go
out and shoot, and submit your entries to the SI.

What I have decided to do for the up coming SI, is to restrain myself
from being the first out of the box with comments. I believe I will
wait and see what materializes this time before expending the time &
effort.
