Blog Comments in Activity Story Stream

I understand the confusion and suggest adding an idea to the product ideas and improvements list ( https://community.telligent.com/community/i/ideas_and_improvements ) to resolve this.

I think the original decision was centered around authorship and responsibility. A blog has a primary author who has a bit more authority in the discussion and is emphasized, so supplemental comments were not considered adding to the story/item of the blog. A thread, on the other hand, is generally a group authored/resolved topic that with the replies represents a complete story, so replies are included in it. Now that comments and forum replies look more similar (with comment/reply threading), the difference is less obvious and may benefit from standardization.
