In August, we asked readers: Should they stay or should they go? Story comments left at Bakersfield.com, that is.
And lots of readers weighed in with thoughtful arguments on both sides. They pointed out the positives and negatives of allowing mostly anonymous comments on the website. Some suggested comments would be OK if people were required to provide their true name. Others called for more rigorous moderation and deletion of inappropriate or off-topic comments.
