The sheer magnitude is what impresses gullible readers of the Sequences.

Wow. Deja vu. I actually have to follow this link and double check the date to see if this was the same comment we dealt with before or just a repetition of the same agenda by the same sockpuppet. If you check DevilWorm's user page you will see that this comment is a copy and paste clone of one he previously made that has now been deleted or banned (5 comments below on that page, to be precise). Once again it has received initial upvotes---either from his other accounts or from users who are vulnerable to persuasion on DevilWorm's only topic of discussion (the worthlessness of Eliezer Yudkowsky).

Come on, when I want to harp on about one issue repetitively I at least either make up new speech every time or make an explicit link to the previous one.

And why was it deleted, when I've posted far more "objectionable" matter?

Because the moderators don't have access to a "ban account' feature for accounts that only post 'objectionable' material.

So, you approve of the practice of disappearing comments without any notice of the fact or the reason?

Not as such, but I approve of disappearing anything everything from known trolling sockpuppet accounts.

(I feel like I should be paying a 5 karma troll-feeding-toll to write this but for some reason there are upvotes where I expected downvotes. I'll wait a day to see how things stabilize then consider if my model of lesswrong users needs to be updated.)
