Haha. Well, it's not a matter of "taking the heat." We've had comment capability on our web development wishlist for a long time, but these things take time, for a variety of reasons.
Meanwhile, for the last ten years, Rhizome has maintained a very active listserv of people all over the world (artists, critics, curators, enthusiasts, etc) who want to discuss issues like these. Posts to that list are permanently archived online (and accessible via RSS) and are also fed into the hopper for the reblog, a second filtered list, and a weekly digest.
This is not a personal jab, but it does really irk me when people diss Rhizome without getting to know what we actually do, or without getting involved. If these folks are willing to "take the heat," they shouldn't just post on their own blogs about what is or isn't being discussed on Rhizome, they should start a discussion on Rhizome! :)
