Deleting comments for being perceived as dangerous might get in the way of conversation. I think that if we're worried about how the site looks to outsiders then it's probably only necessary to worry about actual posts. Nobody expects comments to be appropriate on the internet, so it probably doesn't hurt us that much.
It was a top-level post (though one in Discussion) he was thinking about.
I know, but he said that the suggested policy change would include comments.
That's usual Yudkowskian overreaction he will likely get tired of implementing within a couple years or less.

Well, when saying that, I was thinking of That Thing that happened in July 2010 about which EY appears to no longer have as many bees in his bonnet.
Does he appear so?
In a couple of occasions in the last months I saw people discussing That Thing openly, and I myself encouraged them to rot13 stuff. And very recently there was a discussion which could be considered relevant to which I made non-rot13ed comments. Now maybe EY just didn't see those, but maybe he just didn't care too much.
