isn´t it a bit strange to talk about freedom of speech, and than mentioning how he cannot say these things? That´s a double standard...so you should be able to say anything you want, but another can´t?

I´m also curious to learn why comments are disabled ONLY for this column. 

 Actually, any of the columnists, at their discretion,  can disable comments for their column, it appears this is the only one who has taken advantage of that option.....and only for this particular column.

 Oh! Thanks, now I understand! So it has nothing with administration, right? It is the columnist who doesn´t want his column to be commeted.

 caným, þekerim listen and read what I wrote carefully.

I didnt say he cant say write what he thinks

I wrote that why he closed comments, but others open.

 yes.

Im trying to explain this. coz some ppl give rights to ppl who has one sided opions only.

It is the columnist´s choice to have comments or not.

 balým, why dont u understand. I know it s the choice of columnist. and know why he choosed so. but u dont wanna understand. it s clear that he doesnt want anyone to write something different compliments are allowed but not criticizes...

 It is all to do with the aforementioned freedom of speech Janissary...thehansom´s freedom of speech that is   That is why the bed and aggressive chiko went.

I like the "freedom of speech"

Im learning the meaning of it from open minded and intelligent columnists coz it doesnt grow in our fields here

Freedom of speech is not the liberty of blubbering anything that pops to your mind, on the spot.

It is the freedom to be able to say what you want from amongst many correct and rational alternatives.
