Another year of blogging and another year of comments, so it must be time for the annual top 20 most commented-upon posts.
As a reminder this list is based entirely on comments as of Dec 27th at 11 am EST. It is not a top 20 of best posts for content, reporting, influence, or style (decisions we would never assume to make for you), just those that inspired the most on-line debate. (Posts with an identical number of comments are posted as they appear when sorted by WordPress for this list.)
