I have experienced this strange thing before and I managed to solve this issue. Here is what happened and how I solved this problem.
When I finished writing my blog post
For my case, it was due to a plugin called Autoptimize. But this plugin is updated and doesn't cause this issue anymore. You may encounter the same issues caused by other plugins if you use many plugins.
Thanx!
It's always good to know these things - and extra nice to know the probem is has been fixed!
I remember reading that post and your unique laborious response to it. Glad you worked it out.
Yes, I'm glad too. English is not my first language, so sometimes it's difficult for me to explain these technical issues clearly.
Hi Anthony,
Comments are enabled by default, so if your readers are unable to comment on your blog, some things may be causing this:
Are comments enabled on your blog? Go to Settings → Discussion in your blog’s dashboard and check to see if there’s any blog misconfiguration that can be causing this.
Are comments enabled in your post? Comments can be enabled or disabled for specific posts or pages, so edit the post your readers are trying to comment and check if it’s allowing comments;
Is your blog automatically closing comments on old articles? By default, all blogs are set up to automatically close comments on articles older than 60 days, so this can be happening.
If you’ve cleared all these steps and people are still saying they can’t reply to your posts, they’ll probably referring to our Mozilla Person feature, which requires an email verification.

I passed on this tip to a member this morning.
Don't know if they acted on it or not though.

I will try this out because I have been having that problem almost from the beginning. Will let you know if it works.
