Blogger offers the option whether or not to allow comments with each and very post you make. I've been blogging for over 4 years now and have never used this feature. That is because for the most part I don't make a lot of controversial posts and that is over 6 blogs. At the moment my most controversial ongoing topic is the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in Ontario. That topic is running across 2 of my blogs. So I really for most of the things I blog about don't have a reason for not allowing comment on my blogs since all comments are moderated for spam and/or personal attack.
However, there are times that checking that no comment radial button might be prudent. This way you can carry on as normal with regular posts with posts allowed but the controversial post has no commenting allowed. I can see turning off comments even for one post not sitting well with some readers though so that is something to take into consideration. I honestly think this is a great option for those who do want or need to use it. It's nice to know that this feature is available for those who want to use it.
