> I'm not aware of Microsoft's economic footprint in the Munich region, but I doubt it's significant.

Perhaps be aware before explaining everyone how things really are?

    I've never seen a user replace all their comments with

    "[Yeah, if I'm just gonna be down-voted to oblivion regardless of my participation in the comments, good luck with your 'meaningful discussion'}"

    making it impossible for others to read their original comments. If this now becomes a trend I feel like there may be a need to change the rules around editing.

      I agree. Sometimes people replace their comment text with "[deleted]" or ".", which is already abusive when the comment has replies. But this is the worst case I've seen of someone rage-editing to gut a thread.

      I've restored the penultimate content of each of the posts that they overwrote that way. There remain 5 (including the GP) which just say "Yeah, if I'm just gonna be down-voted [etc.]" but that is because they were posted that way and never actually said anything else—which is a whole other level of abuse in its own right.
