Really? That doesn’t seem to be the kind of comment that it would be appropriate to delete. (Unless it was in a trollish-subthread or by a troll sockpuppet.)
It was by Dmytry, and Eliezer has been mass-deleting comments written by Dmytry and peterdjones, by user rather than by comment/thread. Huge swathes of my own comments from conversations with Dmytry have been deleted, to my chagrin.

Ditto.
It was, IIRC.
