Wess, I thought I'd provide a link to a post which amplifies one or two of your main points.

Hey bro, I just wanted to say thank you for your post on this matter. We never really know who’s watching, or reading for that matter. I just sited C.W. Daniels on my buddies blog for how to comment on a blog. Jus thought you should know.

Kevin,
I am referring to the recent thread about the ‘postcards on the H2′ in the former case, and the thread about the Lord’s prayer in the latter, about which I have not yet spoken, but feel the need to.

John thanks for the comment, I like the idea of allowing commenters to go back and edit their comments. I will look into a plugin for such a feature.

Also I like what you had to say about Jesus

“But He also said that He would never turn away any that came to Him, and advised us to “Give to whoever asks of you.�? So I think we need to be careful and search for why He chose not to respond on these occasions, and what He was telling the larger audience by so doing.”

We see in Jesus that all are welcome to respond and share and yet sometimes he refused to answer the questions that were being addressed to him.

This is one main reason why I have always let comments go through on my site. I have those guidelines put in place to keep things far and constructive but I am also hesitant to use them because I recognize everyone room to say something.

Finally – good point about the immediate importance not needing to be recognized – this is something I hadn’t consider but rings true as I watch how people get to my site.

I can look and see what searches people performed that brought them here, often times very old posts get picked up by google or yahoo. How interesting that conversations we have long ago are still “live” in relationship to search engines and those conversations hopefully become useful for someone else years later.
