That isn't necessarily what I meant but I completely agree with that and that's what mk said in another comment. I think a post becomes much more susceptible to discussion when the person posting the link adds their perspective. But I'd like to think that even if someone says something for the sake of it, someone else will have something to say in response and they'll discuss the topic more than if the initial person hadn't said anything at all.
Indeed. I don't think that comments should mandatory by any stretch, but a culture of more discussion would be wonderful! It's one of the reasons I don't share very many posts, despite being on hubski all the time. I just don't comment very often, and as a result I don't share.
I say "share". I follow you and if you think something is interesting it is not unlikely that I will too. I don't think one is tethered to the other (sharing/commenting).
A healthy balanced model I think we can all learn from.
I'm on board. I'm all for commenting. I've never been accused of talking too little. I enjoy a nice conversation and it does often require that first spark.
