There is double standard favoring HN. If Reddit or Facebook didn't allow you to delete your account or comments and said it wanted to maintain a permanent record of you, they would get eviscerated.
There are many questions going back on HN itself and the answer had always been no, but from what I understand they have renamed a few accounts. But it isn't something that they will apparently do for everybody.
