I don't have a problem with closing comments to avoid spammers & trolls. The blogosphere tends to run on a 24-hour cycle, traffic-wise - the bulk of your comments will come within one day of posting.
Personally, I have a 168-hour cycle, but that's rather atypical.
Anyway, even for a post that gets passed around all over the place, it's pretty much done getting legitimate traffic after 3 or 4 days. After that, the only person's feelings you're hurting by closing comments are spammers.
And mine, but THOSE obviously don't count anyway :-P
So go ahead and close comments at your discretion. Blogging is something you should do for yourself, and if leaving comments open is sucking the joy out of the experience, then close them.
