The tone is a bit odd in some parts but it’s clear why they’re closing down the comments section: leftists are combing through comment-sections right now looking for racist, sexist, xenophobic or Trump supporting posts to report to registrars, hosts, infrastructure providers to get sites like American Thinker shut down. It is, as the post said, either a choice of shutting down the comments or shutting down the website.
The Conservative Thinker also has new rules in place for their comment sections, as that was obviously used against them as well.
WTH, I invented a website. I meant “The Conservative Treehouse,” not the Conservative Thinker.
