In what’s looking more and more like a putsch, the good folks at the Official FCD Blog have stopped accepting comments.

We apologize that we had to stop accepting comments for the time being. We feel that we have been fair in providing fans a forum to express their opinions over the past couple of days - especially on the team blog.

Why, you ask?  Well, read on:

That being said, there are other online forums that may accept comments that have foul language, inappropriate images, personal attacks, or copy pasting the same phrase and / or words over 100 times [Ed. note:  pa-re-ja?] in over 15 comments.

Well, welcome to the Internet, guys.  We get most of those things (and are proud of it) in a typically brilliant MMP.

I’m just concerned:  if you’re interested in building pride and passion in a team (and a sport that attracts about as much attention from your average American as, say, curling), why not allow fans to rant and rave?

Better yet, why not police the few inappropriate posters and let the rest of us feel like we have an actual community to be a part of?
