This Conversation Is Over
Matthew Yglesias has shut down comments on his blog. Things were getting ugly there after a week in which Yglesias made a couple of strongly-worded posts about the Republicans visiting his hometown. The icing on the cake was a fairly disingenuous link from Instapundit.
Despite all this, the site still had a higher signal-to-noise ratio than many others. The three-way arguments between centrist Democrats, left-liberals, and libertarians tended to provide good perspective on issues. I’ll miss it.
