For some reason he decided to allow this response to his blog:

Great -- so he allows that, but not my comment??

Funny, but confusing.  Unless you know what we know, it sounds like that comment is yelling at him FOR publishing someone's comment.

I tried to post my comment again, on the off chance that the mod missed the first one or something.

Ya, cause I'm sure he's being flooded with dozens of comments...

His site does say that he has a whole 59 readers . . . .

Ira, if it doesn't go through, I suggest adding some vulgar insults about the author to your comment

Nominate for lobby.
 

That was the 2nd.  Well?  If the blogger isn't going to publish comments on his blog, we might as well make them visible here.

Fine by me.  A lot more people will see them here than on his blog.

are the links to ericcs and prospers causing the comment not to be posted?

Who knows?  If he doesn't want links, he should say so or not allow them to be included in the first place.

maybe it's automatic if the software detects external website addresses

This a-hole decided to remove ALL comments.

I think I found the problem...

No user resposed " Prosper and Lending Club – Scam or Real Thing? "

(OP's link)

You guys responded to the blog post rather than respose it.

IMHO, this is a poorly written blog.  It reads like it was written by someone in High School and they wouldn't have gotten an A if it had been graded.

His blog barely lives up to the title.  This despite his efforts to recycle the title in every paragraph.

He doesn't have a full grasp of the facts, as he swears Lending Club was always kosher with the SEC, when clearly it wasn't for 6 months while it got its registration approved.
Then he implies that SEC registration is a guarantee of investor success.

As one of the once optimistic borrowers (typo, meant lenders, but it's hard to remember that when I'm losing money!) who will lose 25% of my money, I don't appreciate being told if I had only made "smart loans" I wouldn't have lost anything.  Under the old grades, I invested in what I thought were AA, A and B loans (with one wildcard E).  All I have left are one AA and the E.  Under the new grading system, Prosper now says these were C grade or lower.   I didn't just lend money at "great rates," I made gifts to people I don't even know.  *sheesh*

Then the dope writes that if you don't pay, don't worry, no one will come after you.

And I thought "At the end of the day" had been retired already.

Yep.  This and a number of other items were addressed in the comments, but I suppose it was no fun to be outed as a tool - and it was easier to just delete all the comments.
