The comments have stopped because the moderator has decided to delete anything that isn't a banal agreement with Prudie.

Well.... not really.

I sympathize with the dearly departed, but the deletions were due to language and perceived personal attacks, not simple lack of banal agreement.

Of course, you can't link to a post that isn't there anymore, so it's hard to prove what was or was not deleted. But there are many non-banal-agreement posts out there, so clearly there is some other criterion involved.
