That describes basically 99% of the commenting here

Would suggest instead simply removing the concept of 'dead' entirely. It's always possible to downvote a bad comment, and from experience on other sites, moderation of any sort just tends produce inefficient, subjective and divisive outcomes

Yes, I agree, HN would benefit is more comments were killed. That doesn't mean the solution is to stop killing even the worst of the worst.
