Migeru's exact comment was:

Vandalism in progress... Delete parent!

It was indeed meant to draw admin attention to a spam comment it was attached to as a reply (parent comment).

BTW, if Helen had taken it for a piss off comment, I think she'd have found a suitable reply ;)

The best way to deal with vandals is to tell them to piss off. I don't see what Helen was supposed to do except thank him.

The best way to deaal with vandals is to quietly undo their vandalism. The particular breed of vandal in the case at hand doesn't actually read the site so there's no way to tell them to piss off even if we wanted to.
