I can't answer the question, but I've seen it where some comments I can't downvote, but others in the same thread I can. Additionally, some I can't reply to either.
I would lean towards there being a good reason. It also doesn't particularly bother me if I can't register my displeasure. Can be a good thing to be forced not to.

This would be way easier to clarify if you’d provided context on which comments you were looking at.
The conspiracy voice in me thought maybe you know this is a benign thing and you’re just hunting for something to be outraged about.

  Thanks! I think this is it. Even though it was on the front page I think I didn't realize the topic was old enough to have 24hr old comments as it was not on the front page 10hrs earlier

I don't think HN staff would ever do that, but what was the topic?
