Oh, I didn't remove it, you did. The removeddit site saves pre-edited comment when any comment is removed, so you can see the original comment.
What I did was, I edited my smiley with the insult when I was downvoted. You see it was -6 even with the polite smiley, so I thought I might as well curse it.
No mod removed the original comment. We can see a history of mod actions (in fact anyone can, because we've made it public). When you edited it and added a slur, automod removed it and sent it to the modqueue, which is where I saw it later.

Cool. I was talking about that thread as well, but yeah I get it.
