With immediate effect comments are now blocked

How pathetic desperate is the IOL team in getting the comments section on all articles blocked, without prior warning, without prior discussion. Whatever comments where being shared on the comments section on IOL, whether they were politically correct or not, our freedom of expression has been hampered. Yes, it is a service that IOL gives to its online readers, but once given, it can not be taken away because they feel like it. People discuss how they feel about the topics shared, and thus the information is spread, and that is how a proper discussion exists. You can not force your ideas on us, without us being able to respond to them. We are not fools, we are people with our own ideas, and we want to share them.<br> Anyhow, thanks for all the \fish". As you should know by now"
