I thought the post lent LessWrong the appearance of a self-absorbed, naval-gazing, hero-worshiping click. Appearances are important. LessWrong is vulnerable to this image. I was glad to see the post go.

Out of curiosity, how do you think arbitrary destruction of posts and their comment threads affects the image of lesswrong? And do you think there are any realities that need to be considered as even more important than image?
