Most all bloggers (I believe) edit content to their site, in spite of their cries of innocence. I recently attempted to join in with a seemingly community oriented site in the retirement area of Southern Arizona, where I live. However, when I mentioned something that seemed to offend him he not only deleted previous posts of mine, he threatened me with being "kicked out of his blog..." He has every right as I do to never care to go there again; but the last post I sent (which he no doubt will censor) is repeated here, as I think it is very relative to this discussion.

This freak is going crazy somewhere because I put his cartoon on my blog and didn't link to him... I'm sure that is making him really mad, along with the fact that he can't comment on my blog. So, if he wants to attack me I reserve the right to respond to the attacks on my personal blog.

If you feel this guy is such a stalker and loon then why on earth are you encouraging him with stuff like this: http://calacanis.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000773042643/ I haven't been to your blog in awhile and just visited and that's the first thing I saw. Clearly this MSMobiles guy has gotten under your skin and posting his cartoon spoofs (sorry, I laughed at that one) on your blog will only fuel this person on. It seems to me like you are milking the attention (and Russell Beattie too) a bit, yes/no? I'm not casting blame or being critical of this practice, but well, if you are really, seriously worried about this guy, then the wisest move would be to put him on /ignore, don't you think? Thanks for stopping by, wow, on Mother's Day too :) Hi Jason - I’m curious about something.

He has called folks at their home, posted dozens of messages on their blogs, etc. So, I reserve the right to delete comments from wackos. My comment policy is that I delete comments that are: a) vulgar b) off topic c) overly aggressive d) posted by a fake email or by a person who is posting under multiple names e) I've banned two or three folks who have done the above multiple times If someone is on topic and disagrees with me that is fine... but i'm not leaving up a comment like "f-$k you calacanis... eat s$*t and die you blogging bastard." best j The guy from MSMobiles you are talking about is a stalker who has been harassing a bunch of folks in the blogosphere.

I had to delete a comment just last night because the url placed in both the Name and comment pointed to a website that set my firewall popping up warnings all over the place. Now that's something I want my blog visitors to experience - not. So yeah, I've had to delete a few comments myself. If you don't, your blog becomes a target for spam and worse.
