The moderation (and removal) of comments is really not a business we want to get into. Happily, LWN's readership is of a quality that the question rarely comes up. So when a comment which does raise the temptation to bring in censorship (as this one does), we're able to resist it.

The only time we've done removal is for stuff which was obvious spam. (Plus redaction of comments twice, I think, for legal reasons).
