Well, if you had not deleted your account, you could just edit your comment and replaced them with ‘>’.
Are you blind (or otherwise visually impaired) by any chance? If not, it seems strange that you didn’t notice the effect after the first comment you made.
No, I am not blind. Through,I wear glassed. No, that’s not the reason I didn’t correct it before. It seems like the # character triggers that affect only if used in a whole new paragraph, otherwise it simply prints #phrase#. Initially, I thought that it was a side-effect of quoting a phrase of the text whose user I was replying to. All things considered, I didn’t think it was that annoying, it’s not as if I wanted to irritate you specifically.
It’s no biggie. You can click the “Help” link at the bottom right corner of the reply form, to see some notes about syntax (many people fail to notice that link).
Editors can edit top level posts but have no access to comments. I could ban them, but they have useful content that doesn’t deserve to be hidden entirely.
I don’t think this is the right place to report this, but I don’t know where the right place is, and this is closest. In the title of the page for comments for the deleted account (eg) the name of the poster has not been redacted.

His point wasn’t that he couldn’t see it, it was that he didn’t know how to change it.
It’s probably worth a longer essay, but confusions between what people can perceive and what they can change aren’t exactly rare.

For what it’s worth, while I didn’t take it personally, I do find it distracting.
I’m not sure whether it makes more sense for you to correct it or to leave it in place so that the comments about it will make sense.
I changed account, so that’s not really an option. If I could change it, I certainly would.
I think someone has the right to edit other people’s posts, perhaps ask them?

If someone has the ability to fix it, the by all means. I woulnd’t know who to ask, though.
