>Because a comment made on a public worldwide-readable forum is not private, and you know that before you sign up with an account, so it's not like you accidentally made a public comment that was meant to be private. Protecting private communication is about just that - stuff that actually is private (to begin with).
That's an incredible strawman. Nothing you argue is a reason why we can't delete posts with our accounts.
>How does a forum look like when key posts are suddenly missing?
I guess that depends where your values are: privacy or making sure a forum "looks good".
- Noseshine 10y agoYour entire tone is completely out of place here, on many levels. > That's an incredible strawman Merely yelling "strawman" whenever you don't like an argument doesn't mean it is one. Since I'm talking about the issue itself it can't be a "strawman". > Nothing you argue is a reason why we can't delete posts I didn't argue "can't". You are inventing things. Sure it's possible. Did you read the previous comments of the conversation before commenting? I get the feeling you didn't. > depends where your values are: privacy or I wrote about just that - I wonder which comment you read when you wrote that comment? You reply feels like you didn't bother reading what people incl. myself wrote, it's so disconnected. Not good. Again: It is NOT a private post, it was posted on a PUBLIC forum, and pretty much guaranteed not by mistake! I wrote about that.
