Pray tell what are the places where we can talk about 'which Flyertalk forums censor comments?'

That's a rhetorical question, there aren't any places, right? Because Flyertalk censors comments.

So be it, we don't have to like it, and we can still criticize bloggers for the same thing.

But it is hypocritical. It's hypocritical of Flyertalk to host a forum for bashing blogs [let's face it, that's what it is.. except that it's also a forum for bashing the other 'external resources' like TOBB too] when Flyertalk suffers from the same defects we bash these blogs for.

Internet Brands owns the original credit card affiliate link pimping blog. Flyertalk censors comments. Internet Brands produced embarassingly bad travel articles meant to spoonfeed the masses for clicks and views.

It's also hypocritical of folks frequenting this forum to criticize blogs and not Flyertalk for these failings.

And I should say, I *do* criticize blogs for them. This isn't meant as a defense of bad practices. It's a defense of rigorously applying our critiques (or shutting up).
