RpNation

Exactly!

If you want to talk about the topic so bad you can always send them a private message about it.

It's less about wanting to talk about the topic, and more about being confused about why they don't, I would say. I could understand if it was people who post controversial opinions or only about personal psychological issues or the like, who might be more sensitive to the topics which they share. But such a case is neither exclusive nor the usual, and for every other case I just don't see why they would like block conversation on a topic they themselves brought up, especially one directly pertaining to their interests.

After all, surely the point of sharing it in the first place would be to get that conversation, or find other people with similar interests, who may have answers to your question or any other purpose like that. It's not like there is any trouble either, in fact the default setting on RPN last I checked is to have things open: which means they went out of their way to disable those comments (or in some instances, an error occurred which altered their settings).

Still, none of this is to say they did anything wrong or have any obligation for anything. It's just a pet peeve I felt like sharing.

It is still their status and their profile page though, they are free to block comments if they want. Maybe they don't want to engage in conversation with others who knows? As long as they are not saying anything offensive or hurtful to bring the community down they can do as they please after all it is their profile. I've done it on my profile too because people feel they can say whatever they want to or be stupid.

I never stated otherwise. Though, it might be worth pointing out that it isn't entirely their "just" their profile, as profile posts are public for viewing in the new profile posts area, but potato potatoe.

Point is it annoys me a little, because I don't think it makes a lot of sense for most things posted. After all, the better way to not engage with a topic is simply not to bring it up. But I never stated it was a wrong thing to do, or that they shouldn't be allowed to.
