If someone makes a lot of comments that others react to, and those comments are pulled, then everyone loses the context of all the subsequent threads. In pulling your comment, you silence everyone who responded to you. It gives uneven power to the person removing their comments.
I'd say this would be a bad thing to allow, and would break more than it fixes.
