Comments that are in reply to another comment have a parent link that you can click to get some context. A comment at the top level is assumed to be in the context of the post, which is shown. However you aren't the first one to suggest that the whole thread be shown as the default view for a comment permalink. It will be considered.

Better than showing the whole thread would be showing the whole post with all threads, but automatically jumping to the comment's location in the list of all threads.

OK. A little bug with "parent" link: it doesn't have bookmark part if parent comment is not presently on the current page. For example, if I open this page, the Parent link leads to this page, without focusing on specific comment. However, when I click on the same Parent link of the child comment on the Parent page, the link is now this one, with bookmark to the parent comment.

Ahh the anchor is missing. I'll note it as a bug. #116
