It's a little lengthy and loses some of the Zip I agree, but otherwise what we have is more than two categories - everyone censors spam, some people censor personal information, some people censor profanity, some people censor comments that challenge the ethics of the post.
Are all these things equal?
Agree that that is one of the Cardinal Sins of blogging, going hand-in-hand with a blogger who posts deals where better deals exist and they know it, but they get paid for the less-good deal so promote the less-good deal instead.
FWIW, I like TBB and the cheeky way it takes on the points and miles blog-o-sphere.
And it doesn't surprise me in the least that folks are going after him personally for it. He should take it as a compliment. It means he's being effective!
