Payperpost.com: "Bashing Homeless" or "Just Kidding"

October 5th's entry was at first cool, a college kid trying to brainstorm about how to market his blog...until he chose to put Payperpost in a position like this.

Besides being seen by bloggers and advertisers using the service, this public blog entry is 'tease linked' from Payperpost's Entry Portal page.
I have also considered avenues such as placing an ad in the UF newspaper, having some promotional merchandise made up, putting up flyers around town as part of a grass roots marketing effort, sending out a press release, paying homeless men to walk around downtown wearing sandwich boards...

Well, okay. Maybe not the last one. After all, the homeless are notoriously unreliable.
If "Mr. Wonderful" wants to slam people on his blog, that's his business. If Payperpost wants to slam people on their blog through allowing people to do this, then they've got a problem with me...and anyone else commenting on this entry that doesn't want to be ridiculed by Payperpost's blog, blogger and advertiser alike!

Friday it was homeless people being unreliable. If unchecked, what's considered appropriate business blogging before Payperpost moderates their blog?
Jews 'less than honorable'?
Lesbian parents not having a 'dad' for Janey or Joey?
Hispanics 'needing to go home'?
Maybe I'm just overreacting and personalizing. Maybe it's ok to bash people when standing up for what's right could cost someone, and make it all nice with 'just kidding', followed by another remark for flavor. Who am I to say what a business site's blog should say?
Just the guy who's got your attention about something you may not have paid enough attention when you read the blog at Payperpost between Friday and now.
Site pages have been saved as well as screen shots taken, in case the post is deleted without anything said further on Payperpost's behalf.
