I can see the favorites this comment has, and it shows up in my side bar because it was made by a contact, but the comment has been deleted.

Why was my comment in this thread deleted?

I could have sworn that somebody posted a link as a response to my question. Now that I have time to actually check it out, though, the link is gone. What gives? Bug? Gratuitous moderation? Anyone know what the link was?

Would it be possible, when comments are deleted, to replace them with a [comment deleted due to offensiveness] rather than delete it altogether, and have 100 people all scratching their heads going, "huh?" at the apparently non-sequitorous responses?

(Caveat: This is not me bitching. Just a question. If it's a bad idea, just let me know.)
