And the best part is how you misrepresented what I wrote in your blog to justify your actions.
You contacted me and said you were going to edit the comment. I suggested you delete it instead if you thought it was spam. You chose to edit it anyways and not inform me of that decision, effectively representing your thoughts with my name on them. Congratulations on managing to censor, mislead and misrepresent, all in one move.

So it is OK to censor someone if you disagree with them?
"Calling someone out" is very different from editing their comment so that it appears they wrote something different than they actually did.
