So I’ll not take it personally that he deleted my comment disagreeing with his viewpoint in mild-mannered, polite terms. He’s thin-skinned and does it all the time.

So you are saying I should be glad that my comments were deleted – that Brad was gentle on me. The alternative would have made me look like a full-blown Keynesian…?

Yes, he is notorious for not only deleting, but also editing — to change the meaning! — comments on his blog. A rather insecure fellow, it appears.

At least you have to grant Brad DeLong that he’s keeping up with technology and acts on the opportunities it creates. He seems particularly good at deleting comments on his blog questioning his economic “reasoning.” I’ve commented only a few times, but my comments (all written respectfully, of course) were obviously not very well formulated – they never survived the 5-minute mark. Perhaps it is because I’m a truly clueless idiot…
