Attempting to delete a comment without permission to do so gets stuck in a loop

[pradcliffe-ns]

Bug summary

I'm seeing a problem in debug logging when attempting to delete a comment that the user does not seem to have permission to delete. What I would expect is a JIRAerror exception with details, what is happening is the DELETE returns 400, urllib3 resets the dropped connection and then retries the delete forever.

I've worked around this by checking the comment.author.emailAddress matches the user making the attempt but if the delete fails for another reason this will still get stuck in a loop.

Is there an existing issue for this?

for comment in comments:
