If someone wants to say something about something you've written, they can say it on their own blog or on Twitter.

That sounds like an idea for yet another Twitter app: make a widget that displays a Twitter search for a blog post specific #tag, e.g. #m_eiman12 for by 12:th post. This will make it harder to be anonymous (not difficult, but at least a few more steps), and with an added filter to allow "deletion" of unwanted tweets should help keep it civil.

Even better, from a usability and SEO perspective, would be to use the actual URL of the post instead of a tag, but most URLs are probably too long. Maybe with a shortened URL, but they're Evil. Having a link makes it trivial for followers of commentators to find and read the post in question.
