The current discussions UI reflects a policy that discussions are
immutable;  to change the policy, you will need to add a custom skin
to expose the method, 'deleteReply' (found in class,
CMFDefault.DiscussionItem.DiscussionItemContainer).  This method is
protected by the 'Manage portal' permission.

To make DiscussionItems editable, just add an action to the
'DiscussionItem' type object in 'portal_types':

   ID:           edit
   Name:         Edit
   Action:       document_edit_form
   Permissions:  Manage portal
   Category:     object
   Visible:      yes
