WSO appears to have deleted my post

I think everyone should be aware that, as far as I can tell, WSO removed a post of mine. I for one would like to know why.

I posted to the Financial & Valuation Modeling Boot-Camp thread, here: I made my post at 12:13pm GMT, 22 April.

The original post was from WSO, promoting WSP. Which is fine - WSO can of course promote any product it wants. However, I strongly believe that promoting a product should be done in a fair way. IMHO, the comparisons being made were mis-leading, or at the very least very incomplete. I also noted I felt there was a conflict of interest with the site owner clearly promoting a product if it's not done in a fair manner.

I gave my views on both products, having extensive experience with both. My post quickly received 'silver bananas' and in fact was the 'Best Response'.

As near as I can tell, the post has now been removed. The Best Response is now...from WSP.

I find it very disappointing that the site feels the need to hide opinions they might not agree with, with no explanation. If WSO really felt strongly that WSP was a worthy product, they would not need to censor content they didn't agree with.

Edit; Screen shot of the first draft of my post shortly after posting.
