I recently found out that you can't downvote someone past zero, so that must be why they stopped :)
I might just delete the post anyways. Ah well.
It's considered poor form to delete a post or comment on LW, since it makes it impossible to tell what the replies were talking about. (Also, it doesn't restore the karma.)
What's preferable, if one regrets a comment, is to edit it in a manner that keeps it clear what the original comment was, or to add a disclaimer. Here's one example— note that if cousin_it had just deleted the post, it would be more difficult to understand the comments on it.

should probably be edited to
if the content is to be removed.
I enjoyed that example. I would hope it wouldn't get deleted.
It might be better to just spend some time reading the sequences. A lot of people here like myself disagree with the LW consensus views on a fair number of issues, but we have a careful enough understanding of what those consensus views are to know when to be explicit about what assumptions and what methods of reasoning we are using.
