    those leaving decided to just burn down a library of Alexandria.

    More like I had my book taken off the shelves because the librarians are dicks

      Ah, where are those books now? Which shelves can I find them on?

      I get the metaphorical point, but it’s a point without effect. “Removing with no possible present or future access” is the same as “burning” for society’s purposes.

            Nope, all new comments. Better comments. If you miss the old ones, well sorry but it’s weird that you’re trying to claim ownership over my thoughts and self expression. I don’t owe you or the internet a damn thing.

                You compared deleting my own posts to book burning. You have some weird sense of entitlement where you believe you own my thoughts. You don’t. I do. I can change them, I can remove them, I can grow as a person and develop new thoughts and I don’t give a shit if you like it.

                  Buddy, this is in my original post: “It’s their - and your - right, sure. They’re by definition done on comments the user owns. But this is just punching desperate Internet users in the face hoping it gives Reddit a bloody nose.”

                  I’m making a point about cause and effect, and started out conceding that you can do what you want with your own comments. You’re arguing with a phantom projection of your own pet peeves.

                  Edit: Removed duplicate quote.

                    You’re still implying they have a right to my thoughts. I strongly disagree.
