FWIW, loads of my comments were deleted by administrators at the time.
I was away for a couple of months while the incident took place and when I returned I actually used your user page to reconstruct most of the missing conversation (with blanks filled from other user pages and an alternate source). Yours was particularly useful because of how prolific you were with quoting those to whom you were replying. I still have ten pages of your user comments stored on my harddrive somewhere. :)
Yes, some weren’t fully deleted, but—IIRC—others were. If I am remembering this right, the first deleted post (Roko’s) left comments behind in people’s profiles, but with the second deleted post the associated comments were rendered completely inaccessible to everyone. At the time, I figured that the management was getting better at nuking people’s posts.
After that—rather curiously—some of my subsequent “marked deleted” posts remained visible to me when logged in—so I wasn’t even aware of what had been “marked deleted” to everyone else for most of the time—unless I logged out of the site.
