Popular Science Ends Comments

Popular Science has had it with morons. In an effort to curb people from posting idiotic, rude and over-the-top comments on its site, the magazine has eliminated the option.

“Comments can be bad for science,” wrote PopSci’s online content director, Suzanne LaBarre. “That’s why, here at PopularScience.com, we’re shutting them off.”

LaBarre continues:

A politically motivated, decades-long war on expertise has eroded the popular consensus on a wide variety of scientifically validated topics. Everything, from evolution to the origins of climate change, is mistakenly up for grabs again.
