The changes the Globe is making to its comments section, this is a joke, right?  Letting others who comment comment on somebody else's post.

Maybe the guys who were tasked with having to read any comments flagged as inappropriate, maybe they were let go, maybe re-assigned, maybe the Globe just somehow cannot bring itself to admit that all the comments section does is give voice to a certain type of personality that does not deserve a voice.

There are ways to moderate comments, none of them easy.  Globe wants the easy way out.
