I'm trying to archive the comments. There's some really strange ones and definitely hard to argue that they don't cause harm.

I could use some help though and need to go to sleep.

I think we should archive because it serves as a historical record. This thing happened and it shouldn't be able to disappear. Certainly it is needed to ensure accountability. We are watching the birth of the Dark Forest.

I think in this manner the mods were wrong to delete the comments though correct to lock the threads. I think they should edit to have a warning/notice at the top but destroying the historical record is also not necessarily right (but I think this is morally gray)
