To me, the egregious bit is how reddit is trying to simply brush aside this monumental problem by downplaying it as a mere "controversy" caused by nothing more than "editing some comments".

What? That moron hasn't targeted a particular political group for censorship, and to do so hasn't he showed the world that reddit is willing to go to any extent to manipulate users to follow their whims?

That is not a mere "controversy". This non-apology apology doesn't even scratch the surface of how appallingly awful reddit showed itself to be. In fact, this pathetic excuse for atonement is just yet another weak attempt at brushing aside the PR problem reddit created for themselves.

But it won't simply vanish, particularly when these stalinist characters still linger around.
