Nope, all new comments. Better comments. If you miss the old ones, well sorry but it’s weird that you’re trying to claim ownership over my thoughts and self expression. I don’t owe you or the internet a damn thing.
You compared deleting my own posts to book burning. You have some weird sense of entitlement where you believe you own my thoughts. You don’t. I do. I can change them, I can remove them, I can grow as a person and develop new thoughts and I don’t give a shit if you like it.
Buddy, this is in my original post: “It’s their - and your - right, sure. They’re by definition done on comments the user owns. But this is just punching desperate Internet users in the face hoping it gives Reddit a bloody nose.”
I’m making a point about cause and effect, and started out conceding that you can do what you want with your own comments. You’re arguing with a phantom projection of your own pet peeves.
You’re still implying they have a right to my thoughts. I strongly disagree.
Counterpoint: No, I’m not. You’re making the life of internet users who are looking for a solution worse, and hoping Reddit is somehow harmed as a side effect. Nothing in that implies I think that I or they have a right to your thoughts. You are just following a poor strategy, lashing out using the only lever you have, without any logical basis to think it will achieve what you want. Your methods will not produce the results you seek.
If you feel differently, feel free to explain. I’ll read your post. But I think I’m done replying to this thread for now - my original post said what I mean.

See the last paragraph of my post. I both addressed this, and am talking about past comments, not future comments.

So tempted to delete all my replies just to spite you
