Every time I see a deleted comment and a reply like that, I get so morbidly curious what was said, and yet, I've _been_ a moderator on a forum, so I know for certain that reading it would never make my mood any _better_, just worse.
Is this just me? I know it's self destructive to seek out negativity like that, but that curiosity just won't go away.
- dang 8y agoJust set "showdead" to "yes" in your profile and the fruit of the poisoned tree will be yours.
- shawn 8y agoIt's not just you. I used to read hundreds of dead comments, and thought "Don't they understand why they should be banned?" Read mine. There is more to what's going on than meets the eye. And if you email me (see profile), I'd be happy to illustrate just how carefully Dan controls his image. After all, see your language here. There's nothing wrong with being curious. That's the whole point of HN.
