As the year flips to 2020, we at Blazer’s Edge, along with many in the Portland community, are aware that The Oregonian is getting rid of comment sections on their online site, effective January 2nd. We mourn the loss of interactivity. We are also aware of the issues that plagued the comments at the Oregonian for years and eventually led to the demise of the practice.
Anticipating that folks from the Trail Blazers sections of The Oregonian community might be testing the waters at Blazer’s Edge over the next few weeks, we’d like to clarify how our comment sections work and how they differ from the paper’s.
