Yes, a lot of people won't see your comments since the default is NOT to show the dead ones, and I have to "vouch" for your comments to be able to reply.

Replying to "icantdrive55"

I agree - I find the whole mess, with flag / dead / shadowbanned, to be extremely cowardly. It reminds me of Hettinga [1], who would quietly delete comments he disagreed with from his blog. In both cases it was an issue of "private property so they can do what they want" but I still dislike it.

Oh I see. That would explain a lot. I thought I was just getting out of touch and nobody liked me anymore! :D

Well maybe i'm still pretty unlikable but not _that_ unlikeable. Thanks for the clarification.
