Abstract
In this chapter I present the many diverse commenting practices that people engage in when appropriating the interfaces in this analysis and how by doing so they establish online commenting in a specific form. As has been demonstrated, providers of online news media, political blogs and their respective social networking sites implement certain meanings for online commenting through their interface inscriptions. But the commenters themselves equally set the tone for online commenting as a form of civic online communication in their commenting practices.
