I'm not aware that LW moderators have ever deleted content merely for being critical of or potentially bad PR for SIAI, and I don't think they're naive enough to believe deletion would help. (Roko's infamous post was considered harmful for other reasons.)

"Harmful for other reasons" still has a chilling effect on free speech... and given that those reasons were vague but had something to do with torture, it's not unreasonable to worry about deletion of replies to the above question.

The reasons weren't vague.

Of course this is just your assertion against mine since we're not going to actually discuss the reasons here.

you have to be very clever to come up with a truly dangerous thought -- and if you do, and still decide to share it, he'll delete your comments

This is a good summary.

Of course, what he actually did was not delete the thread

Eh what? He did and that's what the whole scandal was about. If you mean that he did not succesfully delete the thread from the whole internet, then yes.
