I see this posted with no moderation. :) I've commented on various sites such as the ones you mentioned and most allow direct commenting. I'd be willing to be there are some spam filters in place and some of those are likely key word driven. Being aware of potentially touchy subjects is half the battle. Kurt,

It's something we wrestle with all the time here at the Post. That's why I posted the item on my blog...because I was interested in points of view like this. Lots of papers are also inviting readers' comments on stories -- some of the largest include USAToday and the Washington Post. Neither of them has the resources to review ALL the story comments pre-publication, as far as I know. Some stories have hundreds of comments on them. So, it becomes important for sites like that to give the community tools to help self-police. In my shop, we also try to take special care with blog items that clearly have the potential to spin into malice and hateful comment (the Kirkwood shooting story comes to mind). Good post.
