I thought about removing the rel="nofollow" attribute from the comment links on my blog. I'd have to buy my own hosting to do that, or pay WordPress.com for the right to modify my theme. That's not why I decided against it.
I blog because I have interesting thoughts, and want to solicit feedback from smart people on them. Opening the flood gates for ignorant spammers who will comment "nice blog" and "i agreez" won't accomplish my goal.
Speaking of SEO, the people who will gladly spam you for links, have probably been spamming other sites, including their own. Some of them will be what Google calls a "bad neighborhood" and get you into trouble for linking to them.
