Actually, we did this before comments

Jens, I think it’s fine to reply to someone’s blog post with a post in your own blog, rather than a comment:

  1. If your readers don’t read the other blog, then your readers won’t know about the post.
  2. Replying to a contentious post on someone else’s blog, by posting it to your own blog is like counting to ten and taking a deep breath.
  3. The best response to “I hate your blog,” is to remind someone that it’s easy to have one of their own.

    I was wondering what criteria you use for whether or not you close trackbacks on a blog post?

    In practice I turn off trackbacks because of the spam problem with them.
