Nope.  
The "like" was attached to the deleted comment - hours after it was deleted.

The reason?  Easy enough to determine.  The one I am referring to came from someone who posts smiley faces on practically everything I post - when a comment that was deemed uncivil was attached to a comment of mine, I am sure said poster thought it was fabulous.

No matter, really.  I just find it....odd.
