2. I don't think they are censoring what I say, but can't deny the post in question has been change. I had no idea until you brought it up. I can write whatever I want, and if they feel they need to edit, I'm ok with that. They own the blog, not me. "Their blog Their rules."
So effin disingenuous! Most people have no idea that FTG "the person" doesn't own FTG "the blog" - or that someone else exercises editorial control.
Seems to me there's a convenient fiction being presented to the blog's readers. Your face shows up repeatedly - but when criticism is leveled at your posts, you disavow responsibility by saying it's "their" blog. Makes me want to spit in disgust at how shady that is.
Seems to me there are ties that bind - ties that all have $$ attached to them...
