I think the censoring is just a continuation of a pattern on this blog that is hypercritical of others.
1. the first issue was disclosure. In the early blog days the hype was bloggers needed to disclose fully their link relationship to some standard George decided was acceptable. Little did it matter that all bloggers conformed with the legal requirements of disclosure. George wanted is own standard imposed until the question of his name disclosure was repeatedly brought up as a counter point. that issue disappeared from the radar screen until this past week.
2. Next was the issue of card pimping, and that still continues on the blog. George always insinuated he would do a better job with links BUT money wasn't important. Yet, we all remember the great Adsense debacle of '13 where he tried and failed to monetize his own blog, and has he has gone to conferences, and met with affiliate marketing managers to do the same himself. Yet he continues to call out others for of all things: the barrage of blue links.
3. And most recently his shtick is credibility, yet he can call others out for deleting comments and you want to give him a pass for doing the same thing? I'd gladly give him the pass if the pattern wasn't so clear, the ranting so loud and the degrading of others so severe.
If credibility is truly an issue for George, maybe he'll take a little helpful criticism for a change instead of just dishing out his rants and slams. If you are going to try to hold yourself out to a higher standard, you'd better live that higher standard yourself.
when it is all said and done, George is just another Bozo on the Bus with little room to criticize others.

I literally have no idea about all the TBB history you're bringing up, as I haven't been following it, and frankly don't care to get roped into it. I simply commented on the item posted upthread...if there is some broader feud between you two, that's probably best handled elsewhere IMHO.
I thought you didn't like "the angries" but the above post sure comes off that way to me.

MODS - maybe we can change this thread to:
"Which miles and points blogs censor comments now and then when either the blog or 84fiero thinks it is ok to censor"?
I never said you had double standards, just wonder why you care since you censor anyway. And I don't see any reason for you to yell.
