Certainly some news sites that include comments show that they have idiots for readers. BBC, on the other hand, keep comments apart from news stories and online broadcasts. I am a big fan of the Wiki -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Talk -- and Facebook pages for Fighting Talk -- http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/fightingtalk.shtml -- but it's hard to find a place to comment or read others pov on BBC.

Sadly it wasn't published. Since her assassinsation I've often wondered why my message wasn't considered suitable to publish.
