Your current comment is the exact same as your other comment. You edited that one, then deleted it as it got voted down. I believe that you didn't do it for karma, but still it was silly.
- xiaoma 17y agoLook, I delete all kinds of unfinished or mis-entered things on the computer all the time, including emails, comments, blog entries and pages in employee training manuals. Why leave something up that's in error? When I was writing my comment originally, I wrote the first line, tabbed over to the article to get the quote and tabbed back to this site and saw that I couldn't submit the comment. I hit the back arrow and then cut and paste my quote into the comment. Then I saw a comment was already there, cursed the fact that light accidental taps on my ASUS laptop's mouse pad get interpreted as clicks, deleted my comment and posted the corrected version. It was then that I saw a response to the [deleted]. Then I refreshed and finally saw the multiple downvotes and your comment along with odd insinuations about my personal motivations. The cruftiness of the delete functionality and the entire... fuck it. This is just pissing me off. Forget it.
- unalone 17y agoWhat I mean is: Why did you delete it after you'd already edited the original comment? I'm curious.
- xiaoma 17y agoI had intended to delete it, not edit it. Not too long ago, I had an unpleasant situation in which I was locked from editing my own comment. That's why I don't have much confidence in the edit feature. I hadn't realized how the delete feature also sucked until this thread.
