 deleted? They get deleted too?

 I'm curious to know this as well.

 I'd probably just not link the bubble at all and skip error messages
 altogether. Just as you can't edit posts in the trash you shouldn't be
 able to moderate comments of said posts.

 Related to that is whether those comments can also (currently) be
 moderated outside of this interface. If they can, then we should either
 look at locking those down as well or unifying the experience across the
 board to making them moderate-able regardless of the trashed status of the
 parent post.
