As well as being an ethics-free partisan hack. To recap, DeLong has a long history of deleting comments that point out factual errors on his blog. Now, economist Steve Horwitz has caught him editing his own posts to removing embarrassing material, without any notification he has done so.
I'm really not surprised that DeLong's behavior has apparently earned him no censure in academia. I am disappointed that so-called libertarians contineu to invite the man to speak at events or to sit on panels with him. Intellectual debate is one thing. But why would you have anything to do with a man who consistently mischaracterizes his opponents' positions, makes ad hominem attacks on them, plays fast and loose with facts and is just downright rude? Are libertarians that starved for intellectual respect?
