Whoa, what happened there? Someone made a comment here that made a lot of good points (others had made them, but this poster did it much better), and I voted it up, as did someone else, but now it's gone, and there's no "comment deleted" indication.

Is LW not always giving the most up-to-date site?

My use of the word "cause" was not technically accurate. I needed to find a way to word my comment that didn't use it that way.

Okay ... and now that comment shows up again in "recent comments". Weird.

ETA: Okay, I guess that comment is actually a different one.

is confused

A comment that has no follow-ups can be deleted by the author without leaving a "comment deleted" placeholder.
