Writing a blog post that you do not succeed in publicizing is the same as not writing a blog post.
Convincing people is not a side effect, it is the goal of a post, or of your strong stance.
The people you need to convince are people who know this subject well. You are in the wrong place. Physicists or data analysis people, whatever, people here are not deeply informed on this, and their opinions, whichever way they go on this, would be pretty irrelevant to the truth of the matter.
Comments were almost certainly deleted for entirely different reasons than suppression of the truth. Scientists, in reality, welcome well-reasoned criticism. Bizarre and ill-argued salvos, however, may very well be ignored or deleted.

My ability to reason right, on the other hand, helps me to make right technical and business decisions. > people here are not deeply informed on this You are implying that there are some scientific gods and then there are poor "us". The reality is that there are only "us" and these scientific [and pseudo-scientific] gods are just part of us. > Scientists, in reality, welcome well-reasoned criticism. Exactly. That is one of the reasons why I think that what this EHT imaging team is doing is anti-scientific. > Bizarre and ill-argued salvos I asked: ~~~~~~~~~ 19:39 "Calibration Free Imaging" Does it mean that you were using measurements tools (telescopes) without prior calibration? ~~~~~~~~~ What is bizzare about that question?
