Personal Blog Should Have Comments

A spammer would agree. Trolls most certainly agree. If I was to add the function to comment it would use local storage. [1] not my repo

If I wanted interaction from visitors I would make one of my forums public. They would at least have to register and they would be subject to normal moderation. As a new member only I would see their comments until their rank moves up from Guest, thus weeding out most low effort trolls and grifters.

If I really wanted to hear from random visitors of a blog I would give them a throw-away email address or a form to contact me.
