On Tuesday, we introduced a new story-commenting system, which we think is much better than the old one. It allows for "threading" of comments in the same conversation, so that if you reply to someone, your comment will appear under theirs, rather than down the list. You can also register by Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google -- or you can stay anonymous.

It also gives us the ability to whitelist commenters who show themselves to be responsible commenters (whether they agree with us or not) and to blacklist abusers who violate our commenting policy. No, we don't want to ban people who disagree with us, but we don't want hateful, abusive comments to lower the tone of the dialogue. (Read our commenting guidelines here.)
