Reddit CEO admits to altering user comments that were critical of him

People seem to be treating their comments with some kind of sanctity. These changes are most copy-and-replace for humorous effect (message boards in the past have done it). Surely it is obvious that the Reddit staff has the ability to edit or delete comments.

Users might think this is a breach of trust, but I really cant make that jump.

The important thing is that the_donald followers need a controversy to latch onto and will do so.

Surely if Jack Dorsey edited someone's tweet or Eric Schmidt edited a Gmail user's email, that would be cause for great concern. Which user or users it happened to is irrelevant to the breach of trust it represents to all users of the platform.
