Is there been any history of 'offensive posts' having been written by subscribers? If this occurs, what will happen? Since $2.50 is such a trivial amount, perhaps it is a low barrier for trollers as well.

Regardless, my vote is that non-subscribers be able to post comments. For the handful of abuses, its not worth losing a single one of the comments that I come here to enjoy.

I have just put my money where my mouth is and subscribed, albeit at the cheap rate, in the hopes that you'll leave the system open.

For lots of trolls having to pay will matter, but indeed, I don't think trolling can be rooted out completely anyway.

Congratulations with your subscription. ;-)
