People will react differently if they know the author of an essay is going to respond to comments about the essay. It seems to discourage discussion of the essay itself. I've linked to some of my blog posts on Reddit and discovered that people will either clam-up if the author shows up in the comments section, or they'll insist on telling the author who he needs to read in order to clear up his obvious misunderstanding of how-the-world-really-is. Either way, the essay itself won't get discussed anymore.
