Response to JustinSayne's Post — RE: "Hey sheep, you are being sheared"

This is the response I received from SC regarding the removal of "Reversme" (this ties into JustinSayne's posting and censorship of specific blog postings):
"Hello, Thank you for your e-mail. Blogs and community features are only available for 'exclusive' members. Our blog community is free to express whatever views they wish.

I have some concerns here: If SC does not find it appropriate to remove "Reversme" and her derogatory comments, why did they find it necessary to remove JustinSayne's comments regarding the WSOP promotion? His posting had nothing to do with hateful or abusive language towards another player; he was exercising his right to freedom of speech without using any type of abusive, demeaning or racial slurs to anyone. I would love to know who is the person or persons in authority that decides which posts are appropriate and which are not.
Nevertheless, I have to agree with JustinSayne; if we are lucky enough to win one of the WSOP prizes, we should have the freedom of choice of deciding how we want to spend that money. If it were my choice, I would rather have the option to use that money to enter several smaller events (or even satellites) with the opportunity to win my way into the final event. I would have more play time, hence I would be wearing SC's promotional gear which would give it even more exposure.
All feedback welcome.

Reverse me has right to her opinion, however, is it necessary to post it all over the community blog? I think that is overkill. Say what you want to say and be done with it, period. Then it is up to the rest of us to either agree, disagree, investigate, or forget about it. Of course if you want to keep wasting time...keep it up. Like the little boy who cried wolf...soon noone will listen.
