GirlPower was someone who was blocked and trying to get around being blocked by posting as someone else.
In general, it's my policy not to delete posts, but this is an exception. You could think of it as a retroactive block.
When I do delete posts, I usually delete replies to them as well, because not doing so could lead to confusion.

I'm sorry about your post. Sometimes there's collateral damage.
