Can we somehow see comments that are removed? If not, are there any plans to be transparent about which speech is removed from HN? I would rather a lock subthread type functionality rather than full on deletion. On reddit I find myself drawn to the bottom of comments sections often, in order to see the dissent and/or anger and the prevailing responses, whereas here I've noticed more lately of removals and bans all the way at the bottom.
