I _think_ the ability has always been there, even with the old system. It just seems to be epidemic right now. The "Twitterpated" poster has aggressively deleted every comment.. high dickatude quotient.

yesterday, I deleted tasteless and pointless slams against the kids in my post about organic rap. The commenter was rude and offensive to me, the creator of the thread. If he had slammed me, I would have been more than happy to leave the rude mis-interpretations there because I'm totally capable of being rude and mis-interpreting things but this guy attacked some kids who were just doing something cool, advocating for a healthy diet. I think that it's great I had the chance to spare these kids from some idiot's mean spirited blather. I think the policy page sums it all up rather well.

oh for crying out loud Danny, your whole post was aimed at mocking someone that most of us know, and one of the co-founders of pdd, you should actually be pretty friggen grateful they haven't moderated you completely off the site, there are plenty of places that would. I don't think anyone is actually accusing you of editing the comments in your post, we know you like as much turmoil as possible and are pretty above board about it.

no, I did not listen to the show, I frankly am not interested in your show, nothing you have posted has inspired to want to listen. I wasn't talking about your show, you can mock yourself, Starfire, or whatever else in that forum and I wouldn't care, hell, call me a two assed blue footed boobie on your show and it frankly won't make me miss a beat, that is _your_ gig I want nothing to do with it. 

I was talking about your post, where you, with little pretext, in a public forum wrote some pretty dick-ish stuff. If you fling poo, expect it to come back at you. Now get this, no one in this post said anything about you editing the comments in your post. If you are concerned about comments disappearing in your post talk to the moderators, and if they are not completely sick of your behavior perhaps you can get it resolved.

Typical Cliff Dwelling Elistists. no sense of humor. maybe we will have to have a pow wow at geek prom.

Danny, you seem to be getting the PDD people riled up over this. You sir are a great patriot of free speech and the freedom to say what you think is important. God Bless you Danny. God Bless you for all your great work with your podcast. Humor and news are your stong point. Bravo! Bravo! Danny, you are a giant among men! Don't fear these people! Be stong willed and willing to tackle the golden idols these people worship.

you kids...

What about Crab People?!

I could have phrased that better.  What I meant was that Nell Carter makes me think of a humorous(to me anyway) anecdote.
