I've never had my name dragged through the mud on twitter or anything but I'm super glad knowing that if I do make a mistake I can delete it rather than having it immortalised on the internet to be used as a weapon against me forever.

The blockquote is still inside the page and indexed by search engines. While many will get a blank preview, it is still immortalized on the internet and visible if you block Social Tracking / Twitter's widget.js.

For the vast vast majority of people (or as we call them in cases of cyber-harassment, "the mob"), it will be gone from the Internet.
