Huh. No, actually, he very clearly says that anonymous comments can be deleted and reposted as long as the editing is done before someone has replied to them. He continues, to the same anon: "Not only are you likely to do it, you actually have done it."
If you want to think the use of the pronoun "it" makes things unclear and that, technically, Nick is completely right because he changed the meaning of "it" after the fact, thus saving his ass, that's your prerogative.
A final note: mme_hardy makes good points, and I'd just like to note that, in conjunction with her comments, all this screencapping and saving of links of things women have said was being done by the same guy who linked Sriduangkaew with her troll personae. And he admitted in his own words that he'd always told her to come out, and when she didn't, he took it upon himself to decide the situation was "getting dangerous" so he "stepped in" with his ello post. Then he went to great and sloppy lengths, as mme_hardy pointed out, to justify his actions as not outing.

Just a couple things to think about.
