> Do you have any examples where this happens? I read a lot of blogs, but hardly see any in-depth discussions appearing under the posts.
Scott Alexander's blogs, Slate Star Codex[1] and Astral Codex Ten[2]. Andrew Gelman's Blog[3]. Marginal Revolution[4], though that doesn't seem heavily moderated.
> Also, when the author moderates, do you trust any critique to stay online and maybe even be countered?
No, but that's why I like both. I like seeing a discussion not moderated by the author, like on HN, to see more criticism, but I also like seeing a discussion more respectful towards the author, especially on topics where on HN I'd only see contempt towards to the author.
I do feel that contempt. Just today my blog got a HN frontpage [1] place and the ensuing discussion called me everything from "stupid" to overly dramatic to just plain wrong.
I like that though. It keeps me sharp. And forces me to re-think and back up my statements. I'm pretty sure I would've just plain /dev/nulled quite a few of the comments there where they on my blog.
