If it’s something egregiously wrong, I prefer to edit it and own up to my stupidity.
If it’s my considered opinion being downvoted, then I take the downvotes and backlash. I stand my ground, unless someone makes a point that enlightens me to consider a different position. Then, I’ll edit the comment to that effect.
The rare times I delete a post or comment is usually because I’ve posted something demonstrably false that I realized after posting it, or I replied to the wrong comment.
