Ah, I definitely interpreted your comment as “leave a reply or downvote if you think that’s a bad idea”. So I downvoted it and left a reply. My guess is many others have done the same for similar reasons.
I do also think editing for tone was a bad idea (mostly because I think the norm of having to be careful around tone is a pretty straightforward tax on betting, and because it contributed to the shaming of people who do want to bet for what Chi expressed as “inappropriate“ motivations), so doing that was a concrete thing that I think was bad on a norm level.

Thanks, good to know on both, appreciate the feedback.
(+1 to Oli’s reasoning—I have since removed my downvote on that comment.)
