I do wonder why someone at HN decided that to stomp on the guy who was asking about forth as bootloader. Didn't seem weird at all to me. HN? Care to explain? Did I miss something?

View on HN

As I explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16719808, no one at HN touched the comment. It's deleted because the person who wrote it chose to delete it. Why? No idea. You'd have to ask them.

That raises a tricky (perhaps philosophical-meta) question: whether deleted questions should keep the username visible.

I can't ask the person who deleted the question, because I don't know who they were.
