I need to be able to allow and disallow commenting on a per-user basis. Is this possible with Drupal Core, and if not, are any modules capable of handling this? I can't create a new role because user roles can't "remove" permissions, they can only add them, and my default "Authenticated" role already has the "add comment" permission enabled.

Why can't you add another role "Commenter" which has comment permissions, then remove comment permissions from the Authenticated role?

This is exactly why a multiple role system exists.

Because that would involve adding the "Commenter" permission to all the other thousands of users I have, and there isn't really an easy way to do that. I already tried using Views/VBO, and VBO won't let you do a bulk process on that many items.
