Delta Points has got to be the worse when it comes to censoring.
I commented on the Sunday fireside chats which appear to be copied from MMS interview series and got Censored!!!
I merely stated that MMS had interviewed most of the bloggers already so there was no need to repeat the process

Its like the kid at the playground that takes the ball home if he doesn't like the game.
The rising readership must be due to the "quality" merchandise on Swag saturdays.

Thankfully he stopped editing his name out of the wiki anytime someone listed DP as one that censors comments.

Are you sure all those hits necessarily mean huge and amazing growth? I'm not trying to criticize. Just curious.

I read elsewhere that the Ken comments were particularly vicious, not sure this is the kind of censoring us freedom of speech libs care about.
That said I censor VFTW, stopped reading that Chase advertising drivel a long time ago.

I wonder what Ken's comment was - anybody happen to catch it? If he is just spouting off vicious stuff or some sort of personal attacks, I wouldn't blame a blog for trying to block him. That's a little different from censoring normal, civil comments that point out contrary information, better links, etc.

I'm not surprised Gary nuked the comments. They were a bit over the top. I thought the dim sum comment was kinda funny.
Ken said,
And for the record, YOU STILL SUCK!
I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but IT’S HORRIBLE!
Those 2-3 pennies you get per hit is not going to last for long.
Retire already!!!!!!

Ken said,
I’ll say it again, you are not original!
See what happens when you come up with your own material. IT’S A FAILURE!
Everybody’s knows you intentions now! HA HA I TOLD YOU SO!
Just go back to copying Lucky, it was better then.
-----
Ken said,
Just spend some quality time with your wife instead of writing some stupid s*it all the time.
Or better yet, GO EXERCISE! You’ve eaten too many Pad Thai’s lately being a food critic.
-----
Ken said,
Can’t wait to meet you face to face in Chicago. I won’t be hiding!
CREAMPIE HERE WE COME!!!!
-----
Ken said,
I thought you banned me???
You put me back on to get sympathy again from your readers?
Good luck with that. You SUCK!
Spend time with the Wife, exercise and work hard in your day job. Do all of us a favor and stop blogging. Your time has expired!!!!
-----
Ken said,
I bet you regret posting your ugly face now!!!
BTW, I talked to the manger of the chili place you insulted lately and they are not happy with you. I emailed them a screenshot of your face and they are looking out for you.

Ken said,
Maybe you should get a spray ran. It might hide the quadruple chin of yours.
HA HA!!!!!!!!!

Ken said,
I just recently flew CX F and your face looked like a piece of Dim Sum I got on the flight.
I had to cover it with chili sauce just to eat it.
I bet somebody knows what I’m talking about.
-----
Ken said,
Maybe I should stop.
NOT!!!!
I have a picture of you in my office with, “And for the record” in front of it.
And for the record, YOU SUCK!!!!
-----
Ken said,
Why is it I don’t see you correcting people anymore with “and for the record” anymore????
Maybe, cause YOU SUCK!!!
-----
Ken said,
Ok Ok! We all know the creampie in Chicago will not happen.
All you had to do was to prove me wrong from the beginning and you would of came out ahead. Instead, you ban me and not publish the truth.
You’ve been blogging for 10+ years and didn’t even try to prove me wrong.
You know I’m right, that’s why!
I’m glad I got to wake up some of your readers. It might not affect you now, but you’ll see it soon.
I don’t even have to make comments, you are destroying yourself!!!!
-----
Ken said,
Ok, you stop copying Lucky since I called you out on it, and now your content SUCKS!
I know everybody has to make a living, BUT COME ON MAN!!! I would of thought you would of stepped up your game a little bit just because of it. BUT, you haven’t. You’ve proven me right 100X already.
I would live to debate you online.
Gary, please prove me wrong!!!!!!!

Based on HikerT's transcripts, I understand why Gary censors it...but that's still censorship. It's not spam or profane. It's 'just' rude and mean. In a truly free marketplace of ideas Ken's posts would be free to be made...and judged as mostly meritless.
