Some of the miles and points blogs seem to be heavily influenced by whomever they are courting or trying to maintain good relations to get/maintain feed of some sort or another for some travel service provider or another; and then they go on the attack or defense based on that kind of personal affiliation/affinity. And there is other circular backscratching and brown-nosing that is part of the scene.

Expecting the miles and points bloggers to be more impartial, objective and consistent than the average person is to expect too much. And given how people tend to be sensitive to criticism of various sorts and tend to react to criticism, can’t say I’m surprised that some of the bloggers disappear some comments (or more) even when the contributions aren’t spam.
