Why was my post deleted? (on Real Estate- thread was 'we shouldn't have listed in the fall')

Hi Jeff-
I appreciate what you do with this site. This is a sincere, non- defensive question.
An individual posted saying they thought they had listed in the wrong time of the year. They gave a significant amount of identifying information about their house. I have been watching the market closely since we are considering a move, and was able to quickly identify the house (I think). I posted a link, and expressed the opinion that is was drastically overpriced, and then also posted a link to a comp that was recently sold for 200k less.
The thread is still there- but my specific post was deleted.
I want to know what was inappropriate, because I appreciate your work and don't want to do anything that is against your terms of service.
Is linking the specific houses not allowed?
Would it have been okay if I essentially posted the same thing- but without the link?
I'm assuming linking the comps was okay? Or was that a problem too?

The OP of the thread asked for the post to be removed because she didn’t want her specific listing to be discussed. Based on what you are saying, I misunderstood the request because I thought the OP had posted the link and then had second thoughts.

Yes, you can post without including the link.

Hi. I’m the Op
Your response was very respectful and well reasoned. I did appreciate that feedback. I just didn’t want my specific home discussed. I gave too many clues, my fault entirely. Of course It’s a bit irresistible to sleuth it out!
I’ve calmed down about that whole thing considerably. We had multiple second showings this weekend - so we’ll see.
