No Comments Today

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Comments have been temporarily disabled for today's stories due to a technical system issue.
  • The pause is purely technical and not a decision to end comments due to the increasingly hostile environment, though some readers have suggested it.
  • The organization encourages readers to reflect on how to preserve valuable reader input without resorting to partisan or personal attacks during this technical interruption.

We’ve turned off comments to today’s stories because of an issue with our system. No, we’re not ending comments because of the increasingly hostile environment in that section even though a few readers have suggested it. As we take this purely technical pause, maybe we can all think about preserving the value of adding readers’ voices to the presentation of aviation news without the partisan and personal attacks that seem to be on the increase. Thank you.
