I think his accounts got hellbanned, because he posted a large number of non-sensical comments.
Objectively speaking, the comments were low-quality as published. To reach a larger audience, they would need some volunteers to separate and clean up the good ideas, and discard the nonsense.

It'd be nice if some accounts had the ability to "un-dead" a comment, in the same way that some accounts can flag or unflag posts and comments now. I browse with showdead on and occasionally run across a comment from a submitter where the submitter was hellbanned for a specific incident but the comment itself is worthwhile.
- nostrademons 12y agoI have a suspicion that if enough high-karma users upvote a dead comment, it becomes undead. I've seen dead comments become live again after I've upvoted them; it doesn't happen every time, but I wouldn't be surprised if multiple upvotes is a signal to undead a comment.
