TFS MVP Deleted Comments on His Blog

  It's his blog. He can do what he wants. Personally, I would no longer visit.

  For the non-MSFT crowd, "TFS" = Team Foundation Server, a Visual Studio suite of testing and development tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Foundation_Server http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Foundation_Server). "MVP" is MSFT's voted position that is a recognized person who contributes to the community. MVPs are for a particular piece of software so to be an "TFS MVP" means the original blogger supposedly contributes to the TFS community.

    MVP == Most Valuable Professional

  An update: The original blogger, Ben Day, posted a mea culpa here: http://blog.benday.com/archive/2009/07/27/23233.aspx http://blog.benday.com/archive/2009/07/27/23233.aspx

  Why is this news? Why would anybody be expected to care that a blogger deleted a comment? Reading this guy's complaint, it sounds like he even got a nice email explanation of why the comment was deleted. What more could he possibly expect? There is no absolute right to free speech on the internet. This author doesn't appear to realize that. The "mvp" in question gets to decide what shows up on his website. That's the end of the story.

    > Why is this news? Why would anybody be expected to care that a blogger deleted a comment? Oftentimes, when stories do well on one news site (see link below...), people cross post them to others, because hey, why not get more HN karma too? I agree with you. Not very newsworthy. It even sorted itself out. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/954yd/no_offense_but_i_deleted_your_comment_i_make_way/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/954yd/no_offens...
