I am wanting to add a page to my wordpress site which basically just has every comment on it, and allows people to click 'respond' or something. Similar to what admins see at edit-comments.php

Anyone?

I don't think it's possible.
Comments don't live of their own... every comment is attached/related to a post ID#. That's how blogging tools work: you have an entry and comments are posted to it. NOT comments in general but related to that specific post.

I think it would be possible to build into a loop... but how can you make custom pages which work for the loop. I have tried making a page template and creating a blank page using said template, but that doesn't work.

It is possible except the 'reply' button. First you have create an template page and put it under your current theme folder. You can copy any template page you haved and rename its file name and template name. (the template name sits in first paragaphy of php code)

Therefore find `<?php the_content(''); ?> '

copy code under and paste.
