Steve over at P. Phil. says Oh Noooo, he never censored me. Yet this is what I get every time I leave a comment:
"We're sorry, your comment has not been published because TypePad's antispam filter has flagged it as potential comment spam. It has been held for review by the blog's author."
And this occurred directly after I criticised a post of his. I've left a couple dozen comments and always get the same message.
I just checked in at Pub Philosopher and saw that you left my comment. Also that Steve suddenly left on vacation without leaving a reply. I signed up for a Typepad account which now logs me in on Steves blog as Black Sheep but I still get the same SPAM message when I try to post a comment. Only one thing will cause this, which is that he's blocked my IP address.
I did enjoy his reply to your first message, all denials and assurances. What a twit! "Oh, Rastaman does this sort of thing in the summer." Since when? I've been a regular commenter on that blog for several years and once when I'd left on a vacation of my own for two weeks and came back, Steve had left a "He must be gone and good riddance" comment. Wrong, Steve.
He censored me from commenting, because an American dared to tell him that one of his posts was boring and not up to his usual standards of journalism. How awful of me.
The plain fact is that Steve just plain doesn't like Americans. It doesn't matter that my last name is a common English one and my father was born in Canada from British immigrants. I'm an American and he's made it clear he doesn't like Americans commenting on his blog. He's never had a single good word for my country, just the opposite. The guy is a hypocrite, plain and simple.
There's tons of blogs out there that are more interesting to read, and comment on. My issue is with hypocrisy. I DO censor people on my blogs and make no bones about it. Steve said he never does, but he lies. He does, in fact. All I ask is that the gutless wonder stand up on his hind legs like a man and admit that Yes, he does censor people, instead of being a mealy mouthed liar about it.
I censor comments on my blog too. I get thousands of comments every week saying how brilliant it is but I just get delete them all, praise means nothing to me.
A politically incorrect blog about my day to day experiences, interests and things that come my way. With the addition of an occasional rant to mix it up.

Their secret lives revealed! What a SCOOP! :-) That is a pretty remarkable set of look-alikes.
Hey, I saw your comment on Plug Pillpopper, it's going to be interesting now to see if he responds and what he says if he does.
Brilliant!
