One of the reasons Memeorandum has been so successful is because the blogger does not have to do anything to facilitate the conversation, as well as Meme only displays a short excerpt of each posts allowing the blogger to keep that coveted traffic. I do think there is a point at which bloggers would be willing to compromise. The trick is finding that point.
