use online debate sites, like DebateIsland.com instead
Comments sections aren't for debates, they're for comments. Debate is a discussion, not just a comment. It's difficult to do that in a newspaper comments section. That said, I don't believe the crackdown in papers like the NYT has as much to do with the comments that are being made as in trying to control content and catering only to their audience's point of view.
CYDdharta, i agree with you. Given enormous amount of lengthy user comments in popular newspapers, people don't seem to target the right channel to voice their opinions. They should go to debate sites instead.
