One thing I don't understand is why you are avoiding the matter at hand though, that you know there is a difference between censoring in order to protect your own financial gain and censoring to protect readers from spam, or keep your personal information personal.
I actually don't mind if people censor to hide the truth from their readers that they are intentionally deleting comments that would alert them to the inferior offers being sold to them, it is a business and it is yours to run as you see fit.
But I would have more respect for the people who do this if they had the gumption to stand up and say it rather than try to play games like this one, trying to set a trap for TBB and hide their intentions.
Frankly, I ignored the TBB posts about FTG and your site, along with others he doesn't like as irrelevant to me, but seeing the way in which you and Ingy are trying to discredit him and divert attention from this has made me think less of both of you.
I'd recommend moving on and ignoring it, there is no real harm being done to DP or FTG from TBB, but every time that one of you actually bites at it and does something to 'get even' it shows you in a worse light than his blog ever could.
Just my 2 cents.
Why not ask George what his motivating for censoring was? I can almost with 100% confidence George was not just censoring to protect personal information. I'm suggesting in fact George censored for fear of financial loss. Seems a bit of a double standard again to go after people for trying to achieve financial gain, but ok to censor to prevent financial loss? Again if George wasn't so over the top with his constant criticism, most would give him a pass. But when the truth finally comes to light, you'll see why I can, have and will continue to call him hypocritical to the max. Read between the lines people.
