I do the same thing as the author. If I see that the comment stream is somehow
related to my FB account, I skip commenting. I don't know how they're used or
how they feed into some other FB stream.

Even if I did have a feel for how those comments currently are integrated with
other FB comment streams, none of us has any idea of how FB will change their
policies in the future that will totally wreck our personal notions of
"separation of concerns".

Here's a slightly different perspective.

I'm part of a group blog with an active community, and we've experimented with
various commenting systems. Our problem hasn't been getting user engagement,
it's getting quality engagement. The nature of our blog (a cultural blog)
unfortunately invites a lot of trollish and abusive comments.

We've experimented with our blogging platform's native comment system, Disqus,
LiveFyre, and Facebook. Right now, we've got Facebook Comments active. The
number of abusive comments _seems_ to have decreased, as have the number of
good comments (most probably because of the barriers of using Facebook). So
the jury is still out on which is best for us.

Looking at TechCrunch's comments, it doesn't look like Facebook Comments has
helped their quality level that much - though it's much better than Disqus.

So I'd advise understanding your audience before deciding which comment system
is best for your site. Each system has its pros & cons. You just have to
determine if the cons are worth the pros for you.

One of the commentators on my blog (I'm the author of the article), said that
ever since TC changed to Facebook comments, he noticed a reduction in critical
comments and changed the feel into a "Yes man" type discussions. I guess it
depends on how you define
a bad 
 idea for your site, it is not a generalization. 

 I note that in some case it might make sense to get it - but in the lawsuit 
 of technical or professional blogs / articles, that normally is not the case.
