>you probably have "showdead" set to "no".) I did but I can still see my comment as normal.

  Open the page in an incognito tab, so HN won't know who you are. (or log out if you prefer) I expect that your original comment will no longer be visible. This appears to be similar to the hellban functionality, in that it's hiding from you the fact of flagging this one comment. Although I have no problem with the use of hellbanning, I don't see how the behavior we see here, with respect to a mildly sarcastic response to more strident sarcasm in TFA, could be considered a good thing. Hmm, maybe I'll write a Chrome extension to remove this misfeature.
