/u/spez is free to say whatever he wants.

He is not-excused of literally editing another persons' post.

If I am in a room with you and you say something verbally, and I say a contrarian/different view - it does not edit YOUR statement just made.

/u/spez editing others' comments is not "free speech" its the opposite.

I'm not going to respond to comments that aren't specific about what Huffman did. He didn't randomly edit comments. Be specific, and I'll respond. Or, you know, argue with someone else on HN. I'm of no particular importance here.

Man, i can't tell which one of us you just brutally owned.

Edit: Ok, i got it, and i salute you, good sir. :D
