Granted.

can you clarify what a crossed-out "Granted" means in this context?

Crossed out = retracted comment.

You do this by clicking a "Retract" icon below your comment. It means: just ignore this comment. It could mean that author does not agree with their previously made comment, or don't feel the comment is useful for discussion, or something else.

It is something like deleting the comment, except that it is not deleted technically. So you can for example look at the replies to this comment, and they still make sense.

Once retracted, the comment cannot be un-retracted.

Made the comment, realized it didn't add anything.
