This comment had been apparently deleted by the commenter (the comment display box having a “deleted because it was a little rude, sorry” deletion note in lieu of the comment itself), but the ⋮-menu in the upper-right gave me the option to undelete it, which I did because I don’t think my critics are obligated to be polite to me. (I’m surprised that post authors have that power!) I’m sorry you didn’t like the post.
Oh, hmm, this is an edge-case we’ve never ran into. The point of giving authors the ability to undelete comments they can delete is so that they can reverse deletions they made (or admins made on their post trying to help them enforce their norms) not the deletions other people made.
I’ll look into fixing the permissions here. Definitely not intended, just a side effect of some other things we tried to do.

I am suprised that you have that affordance. I want to know I can delete my comments and be sure they won’t get read by anyone after I delete them.
