  i have a commenter A who replied to a comment by another commentor B, thus forming a thread, when it should have stood alone… is it possible to move A’s comment to stand alone?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No, comments must be appended to posts.

  ???

  comments can stand alone or reply to previous comments. my question is that is there any way a reply comment can be moved to stand alone as an independent comment?

  i do know that all comments must be attached to posts.

  Well, yes. If you go to your Settings->Discussion and disable nested comments, all your comments will stand alone. Otherwise, you have to keep things as they are.

  To move the comment you need to go to Comments (dashboard sidebar), copy the comment and the commenter’s data (username, date, mail), log out, visti the post, submit the comment as a new comment yourself, then log in, go to Comments again, edit the new comment to restore original data, trash previous one.
