the reason it is dead is because the person who made it recently got banned for bad behavior.

i'm not going to go through all of your examples, but this should hopefully be enough of a nudge to indicate that you have to look at the bigger picture.
- brokenmachine 7y agoOdd that previously-ok comments go dead when the poster is subsequently banned. I wouldn't have expected that to happen.
- allenbrunson 7y agono, that didn't happen here. the user got banned first. the comment you noticed came after that. every comment that user makes after getting banned starts out dead, but can be vouched back to life, if somebody thinks it is worthy.
- brokenmachine 7y agoAah. That makes sense.
