From Eugene submitted at 9.9.2009.:
May I point out this most curious fact that shortly after the posting of this so-called manifesto, a multitude of comments were written, the majority against the manifesto and the cause behind it, but now it appears that they have all been deleted by the administrators.

Even though I agree that some of them were quite offensive, it seems a tiny bit like hypocrisy to first write a manifesto that promotes the freedom and liberty of Internet and the importance of freedom of opinion, and then to censure the comment of anyone who disagrees.
