I think the key issue is of format - the story started as an announcement, and then had opinion tagged on. What I've typically suggested (and should have here) is that such commentary be published concurrently as the first comment.
In some venues, posting a release followed by commentary within the post itself is a popular method of discussion (alt.fan.furry and LiveJournal spring to mind). However, this has not been common for Flayrah since its relaunch, and many readers now expect a more strict division between the two.
