I gave up expecting balanced and polite conversation in newspaper comboxes a long time ago. Regular hijacking by trolls, and then organized groups flooding comboxes with comments arguing for their side (or not even arguing, just posting something like, "Yes! So-and-so is absolutely right!"), means no one learns anything, or even comes to respect and understand those whose take is different from their own (I am of course talking about legitimate sides to any question, here-- certainly a racist post is not a legitimate argument).
