I can't stomach reading this entire thread, but I see in the wiki that it says View From the Wing does not censor. I don't think that's entirely correct. In response to one of Gary's frequent credit card pitches, in which he listed his favorite cards, I commented that I thought Frequent Miler did a more comprehensive summary and I linked to it.

Whether a blogger "should" delete posts that might reduce credit card commissions is a debatable question. After all, these blogs are businesses. Like on slickdeals, the moderators take a very hands off approach, but they do remove references to other cashback sites (which would save their readers money, but cost the blog owner commission). But to say View From the Wing does not "censor" is not correct, at least from my experience.

EDIT: Gary privately responded that he did not intentionally delete my post. He believes that his spam filter automatically removed it. Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me. So I guess he still belongs in the masochistic camp of non-deleters.
