    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.

        Counterpoint: No, I’m not. You’re making the life of internet users who are looking for a solution worse, and hoping Reddit is somehow harmed as a side effect. Nothing in that implies I think that I or they have a right to your thoughts. You are just following a poor strategy, lashing out using the only lever you have, without any logical basis to think it will achieve what you want. Your methods will not produce the results you seek.

        If you feel differently, feel free to explain. I’ll read your post. But I think I’m done replying to this thread for now - my original post said what I mean.
