Accounts without much history are subject to additional software filters, mainly because of past abuse by trolls. We've marked isaacabraham79's account legit so it won't happen again.
If you see a [dead] comment that shouldn't be dead, please vouch for it instead of posting offtopically about its deadness. Usually that will just fix the problem. That's why we implemented vouching!
To vouch for a dead comment, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'vouch' at the top.
In this case I did vouch for it, and it didn't bring it back.
Ah, I missed that because it looks like you clicked 'unvouch' afterward.
Yeah, when I saw it had become visible I was curious if my vouch made a difference, and so un-vouched to see if it would disappear again. If it had, I would have re-vouched.
Not sure exactly how HN works, but I'm guessing this happened due to high number of downvotes. I just upvoted him and the comment is not dead anymore, though.

Thank you :-)
I'm curious why it is dead. The account has only posted two comments, both technical comments on F# threads, and both are dead. It has no submissions. So how did it get killed?
