If I attended a social club and my comments from 10 years ago were permanently engraved on the walls, I'd be much less honest and open.

You can use alts and delete old comments.

Yeah. Let's delete old blogs and shut down the internet archive as well.

Personally I value the web as a knowledge store that persists.

Use a non-logged chat service if you want a transient medium.

Changing alts is a lot more pro-social than deleting your comments: with alt rotation your old writing is still available for others to learn from.
