I noticed you removed the content of the comment from the record on your user page. I would have preferred you not do this; those who are sufficiently curious and know about the trick of viewing the user page ought to have this option.
Disagreement may be only partial. One could agree to the extent of thinking that viewing of the comment ought to be restricted to a more narrowly-filtered subset of readers.
Yes, this is a possible option, depending on the scope of moderator’s decision. Banning comments from a discussion, even if they a backed up and publicly available elsewhere, is still an effective tool in shaping the conversation.
There was nothing particularly important or interesting in it, just a question I had been mildly curious about. I didn’t think there was anything dangerous about it either, but, as I said elsewhere, I’m willing to take Eliezer’s word for it if he thinks it is, so I blanked it. Let it go.

I know why you did it. My intention is to register disagreement with your decision. I claim it would have sufficed to simply let Eliezer delete the comment, without you yourself taking additional action to further delete it, as it were.
Let it go.
I could do without this condescending phrase, which unnecessarily (and unjustifiably) imputes agitation to me.

Sorry, you’re right. I didn’t mean to imply condescension or agitation toward you; it was written in a state of mild frustration, but definitely not at or about your post in particular.
Yes, I’ve been told that it was deleted but that I still see it since I’m logged in.
In that case I won’t repeat what I said in it, partly because it’ll just be deleted again but mainly because I actually do trust Eliezer’s judgment on this. (I didn’t realize that I was saying more than I was supposed to.) All I’ll say about it is that it did not actually contain the question that Eliezer’s reply suggests he thought it was asking, but it’s really not important enough to belabor the point.
Hm? Did my comment get deleted? I still see it.

Only if you disagree with correctness of moderator’s decision.

Weird. I see:
How does Eliezer’s delete option work exactly? It stays visible to the author? Now I’m curious.

yep, this one is showing as deleted
