I will edit content that blatantly attempts to steer readers into another bloggers affiliate links, especially when the post already deals with (arguably) the best form of rebate for that solution and is a non affiliate link.

I put the reader first.

I do the same when I get spam sending the reader to some dodgy Viagra site, the only difference is I delete that outright, where as I allow comments like yours to stay, so we can discuss the merits of your actions.

Also, I will edit personal attacks that are not relevant to the post and overly offensive. I think though, that based upon the criteria here that doesn't put me in the 'censor' category as that was originally aimed at people trying to remove/edit comments to protect their own revenue over the readerships wellbeing. But if people want to think of me as a bad guy for it then that's cool.

I'm happy with that solution.

But, then again, I should always be able to improve my practices, and if this is wrong I am happy to review and see if I can get better.
