+        
+        1) Check if discussion is enabled globally in the plone.app.discussion

+           disallow comments for all content objects inside a folder, not for 
+           the folder itself.
+           
+        3) Check if the allow_discussion boolean flag on the content object is 
+           set. If it is set to True or False, return the value. If it set to 
+           None, try further.

+           we reach the PloneSiteRoot.
