Er, what?

My guess is that this is a comment by the same user who posted the article. In a few minutes after the comment appeared (when I saw it), article's Karma was at -1, and the usernames used to post both the article and the comment were deleted. Perhaps the user didn't like the downvoting of their article and reacted by deleting their account.

It is. The other pages I had open still had the name visible, loldrup. Having a snit because of a -1 is unusual though. As the account is gone I can't search their past postings, but I don't remember them being egregiously wrong on LessWrong.
