So the person with all the power, the one who speaks in plural about what he allows is suddenly some how the victim?

Please just delete all my comments. Including this one.

Will the next implementation of Arc also include the ability to delete posts and comments?

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).

The misguided idea that there is more than one sense of something being someone’s data, and that thus, some how, the public has eternal right to any comment I make in Hacker News.

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.

There is obviously a way. It’s not unfortunate. It’s a deliberate choice.

Two long time friends walk down the street. Sees one something shiny and picks it up. “A gold coin!”. At exactly the same time a bird poops on the second’s head. They are upset. They blame their friend. “If you hadn’t stopped the poop would have missed me”. “Further more”, they say, ”here is the full list of all the bad decisions I made through life and anyone and anything that has ever wronged me and brought me to the shity situation I’m in”. “You included”. “No”, says the first, “Our situation couldn’t have been better”. “Further more here is a list of all the smart decisions I have made and anyone and anything that have supported and elevated me to where I am to day“. Then they looks at their poop covered friend and say ”I do not associate with negative thinkers”. And friends they are no more. End.
