Hey If you're going to turn off points on comments, please make it an option.

Awesome! Nice Comment. I wish I could produce as pithy prose as you :-)
Actually, I wasn't sure how long the title could be, so I made my main point in the first comment.
Sorry if you wanted a mega-meta-discussion. I'm just simple that way. I happen to like the points on comments, find they make my browsing more efficient and enjoyable, and hope they return.

Option isn't a good plan. If you decide that turning off points-display improves the site then you should turn it off for everyone.
I like the points on comments and miss them (not that I just miss change). Often I don't have time to read a whole discussion but just want to get the gist of what people are saying about an article, scanning for the highest scoring comments (while not perfect) helps me quickly decide if I want to read more of the discussion.
A lesser contributor would have made a list of reasons why people seem to want the points hidden, then picked those reasons apart with well thought out arguments.
Then the argument would likely move on to the benefits of showing points. Tediously explaining how much access to comment point totals provides the community.
But you, no, none of that for you. You've summed up the entire context in a single, incredibly efficient sentence.
Truly, a master stroke.
