[Your Mother]

Once you say something, be it in real life or online, in the presence of others, it's silly to assume it can ever truly be taken back or forgot.

[Anonymous Monk]

Maybe because that is considered an egotistic, immature reaction, and we strive to be above that?

The liberty to unspeak your words is like the liberty to shave your head: you could do that but your cow-orkers might think you're undergoing chemotherapy....

ps. You can consider your own nodes for reapage. Halfway there.
