The Goolympics Torch is Lit

No Ali sightings, but the great Google debate has begun at FT.com.


Click here to see Stephen Schurr, Henry Blodget, Jeff Matthews and I go at it.

No log rolling, but I have to say, that's some pretty thrilling company that I'm honored to be involved with.

Sigh. We had to delete GB's comments not for being disrespectful this time...but for being so factually innacurate.

You should not have deleted grizzly's comments (which I did read before you axed them). Whether right or wrong, they are his opinion. Hello, free speech?

Your use of censorship is frightening. I'm losing respect for you.

First off, deleting some goober's transparent advertisement to drive traffic to his site from my own...well I'll always do that.

Secondly, deleting comments from my own blog isn't censorship. If I were to try to shut down said goober's site, THAT WOULD BE CENSORSHIP.

Thirdly, the guy wrote something entirely false about me, and that's just wrong for him to do in any venue.

Fourthly, am I to respect people who don't have the guts to put their name on what they write? Just asking, not saying I don't.

Here's my name.. Ethan Taylor.

Yes, it is YOUR blog. However, by allowing readers to make comments you have created an open forum for discussion. So, yes, it is censorship when you delete what someone says because you disagree or you find it offensive.
