You're not the first person to level that complaint. I think that either there's something screwy going on with LJ. Membership is moderated; I don't know if that applies to comments as well.
The reason I went to the trouble of pointing out the original point of publishing is that there are some people on my FL who also read conservacorner. It was my hope that the footnote would clear up any confusion about having read the article before or why it was appearing here on my blog.
As you can see via the link, I am the original author, so I believe I have the right to publish this piece wherever I see fit as I have not sold or otherwise waived distribution rights.
If you wish to post your comment on the original article, I would suggest joining the community, or at the very least, sending patriotressan LJ private message confirming my suspicion about needing to be part of the community in order to comment.
I am, of course, always wont to read/hear your thoughts even if I disagree with them. Unless you have an overwhelming desire to comment at the original site of publication, you may leave your comment here. Of course, we have dealt with duplicate commenting in the past when I was cross posting between Xanga and LJ, so I think I'll be able to keep up with an LJ community and my blog.
Yes, I discovered that only "friends" can comment - when I hover over the grayed-out Livejournal avatar in the "From" pull-down it states so explicitly.
No worries, when I'm back on my other computer I will leave my reply here.
