Please just delete all my comments. Including this one.
Surely there might be some portion of the 1,200 people who posted today that may want to delete their submission in the future.
Allowing them to do so would be civil don’t you think?
(There may also be those who figured out there is a risk here and just avoid sharing anything anymore, but that’s another story).
As expressed here by Paul Graham https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6813226 and enforced with blind loyalty by Daniel Gackle who repeatedly refuses to delete my stuff instead spending his nights examining and debating the minute details of my words deciding which should or should not be deleted.
If this misguided idea never existed, HN would be like all normal web services, the user would have a delete button and my life would be better.
But, the idea and the power position it allows are here, and my life is changed for the worse.
