All those comments that were deleted appear to have been FReepers “making it personal”. I tried to bring it to their attention before you remove the comments entirely so they could reformulate their thoughts.
If I suggest a reformulated post, would that one be removed as well when you go about removing posts? I figure such a thing would be helpful to the original poster who might not be able to remember what he was trying to say. Something along the lines of copying the post and removing the “making it personal” sentences. Would such a post be removed?
When we remove a post for any reason, we also try to remove the posts that quote it.
