It is almost like they owe you nothing at all.

I don't even read The Verge, so I don't really owe them anything either. I'm just saying, turning comments off because you can't deal with some commenters criticising you (which I suppose is what was happening) is not a sign of maturity, or intelligence, or professonialism. It comes off as childish, even if it's completely within their rights to do it because it's their platform.

I don't think it's mature to let people come into your house and let them shout unlimited abuse at you.
