As the linked comments have vanished and I can't tell whether or not they had any merit beyond self-promotion, but...
I thought the "self linking" rule only applied to FPs - So if I did my dissertation on Flargle Widgets, and the topic of Flargle widgets happens to come up in a discussion, I couldn't say something to the effect of "So for those reasons and more, Flargle Widgets just don't work like that. If you want more details, check out my my dissertation, particularly chapter 4"?
I ask this point of clarification because I have worked on two semi-interesting bits of original research, to which I most likely could not find any sources I could link to that don't have me credited somewhere.

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like what happened here is the self-linker in question copied someone else's comment word for word in order to make it seem like he or she was contributing, then threw in a self-link. So, this would have been a comment spammer, more than a simple self-linker.

Pla, in addition to what zarq has said, I would suggest that when you say "check out my dissertation", you're definitely in the clear. For a comment: give disclosure that you're not necessarily unbiased.
If nothing else, it's a polite thing to do in the conversation.

There's self-linking and there's spamming, and formally speaking they're two different circles in a Venn diagram. You can self-link in good faith in comments, doing that now and again is generally not a problem (always good to clearly disclose what you're doing, though).
Self-linking in a post to the front page is a no-no and will get you banned.
You can spam without self-linking. You can spam while self-linking. Both are fuck-off territory, since the spam is the problem no matter what. What this case was was particularly lazy spam, with some dingus copying an existing comment and then throwing some random bullshit link into the mix.

Is that a wild Snark or one of those lame-ass reserves where Snarks roam "free" and you drive trough and take pictures as the Snarks walk apathetically past your car window not even caring there is tasty fresh meat inside? Or is it a pathetic caged Snark, a creature that has never known the true call of the wild and can only sit in the corner in it's cage of faux glass picking at itself, which makes you sad and mildly depressed? Truly a waste of $5.

I was surprised they went so fast (as Jessamyn explained re: redeye) that's why I made sure to leave that comment there with a link to the copied comment and the funky looking one. the Username was IndiaOnline and the date of joining was 23rd April and the self link really wasn't a self link per se but a link to a really suspicious "government jobs here" blogspot - Sarkari Naukri = Government (civil service) jobs. so keep a look out for that guy or others like him/her/it
Coming on the heels of the recent tweet I saw on "buy comments to get conversations rolling" sales pitch, I didn't see it as self linking so much as as a bought commenter leaving turd droppings in threads on behalf of websites.

Or perhaps you've lost your dance moves?
The song touches on all the class-distinction points you've been mentioning in the previous thread ("chai is a feast for the poor, but is also friendly with nawabs") Also, the lead dancer there is now an upcoming politician down south.
Which makes me suspect you were, perhaps, inspired by the song on your brand of chai politics. Chai we can believe in? :)

I don't even control it. It just retroactively zaps me to where the danger lives.
And so Jessamyn finds herself leaping from thread to thread, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that her next leap... will be the leap home.
