I'm sure your post will be deleted, Ken - unfortunately. If you post a comment that exposes what a fraud Florio is, it tends to get taken down promptly. I've put several completely civil and calm remarks under his articles over the last couple weeks, and they were all gone soon enough.
I saw your post yesterday -- the exact same thing happened to me. After writing PFT to ask what happened, they confirmed that they deleted the post because it was critical of Florio.
I'm a journalist myself and had commented on Florio's site about the highly dubious ethics of his coverage of the Brady deal. I began by saying, "Florio’s attempts to sell this Brady extension as a dirty deal are becoming increasingly desperate," and added that "there was never anything suspicious or even terribly unusual about the deal. Brady did a service for the team by taking a steeply lowered cap number in the final three years. In exchange, he got a slight raise in the next two years."
Then I added at the end: "It's really bad journalism to imply that something untoward has taken place and that someone has been 'coloring outside the lines' without having anything to back it up. The fact that Florio continually uses the passive 'mistakes were made' construction to make these accusations ('skepticism will persist,' 'suspicions will persist') only underscores the weakness of his argument."
Again, I posted this comment, saw that it had been deleted, and then wrote PFT to ask what had happened. Their response:

The deletion of your comments most like has to do with the fact that you called Mike Florio Desperate.
"Florio’s attempts to sell this Brady extension as a dirty deal are becoming increasingly desperate."

So that's just FYI -- Florio is either editing out negative comments, or having someone do it on his behalf.
