As a mod, I can see banned comments (though not deleted ones). The user’s comments visible to me on the page (there are three) are all heavily downvoted, all banned, and all unadulterated crap. Example:

Do you really HAVE TO reply to every post you see about cryonics on the internetwith your stupid pro-cryonics propaganda? - I really hope that the free suspension you were promised “for all your good work” is worth it. One Day Skywalker you will grow up and realise that you wasted your time—time you could of spent honing your Jedi skills for the pickled egg war that is coming.
I’ll quote the other two if people want the content (and unban them if people feel very strongly that I ought), but I really think there is no loss here—this is somewhere between spam, personal abuse, and trolling.
Those are visible to everybody. (As was recently discovered, mod-banned comments continue to be visible on the poster’s userpage. That should probably be considered a bug, but for the moment, it’s a feature.)

Never assume bad intent when insanity will suffice. :-)
