Comment anchor isn't working: deletion is the answer.

Why are we picking on the 13 year old? This is really distasteful.

The link in this post is ask.metafilter.com/mefi/40483#624324 but it opens at the post and not at the offending comment. Makes it rather difficult to follow the thread as a result. Am I missing something? Was it deleted? Can you point me to the comment in question? Is it OK to ask three four questions?

It was deleted. The excised portion was reposted in the metatalk thread.

The comments were deleted. You can find some of them in this thread. Specifically, here.

If you're ever wondering if the referenced comment has been deleted, check the comment ids in the thread and try to high/low it—you'll either find the comment, or find the space where it used to be.

(Though generally you can be sure it was deleted when the thread loads at the top.)

I won't be satisfied until we've shattered it.

Why don't you continue this discussion in the existing thread?
