Dr. Helen accuses The New Republic of deleting comments to make Ann Althouse look bad.

Dr. Mrs. Putz, weighing in a little late on the Althouse/Orr dustup, writes:

What I love is the comment section at TNR where almost all of the comments are supportive of Orr--and there are almost no comments supportive of Prof Althouse--except Prof Althouse. Looks fishy to me--I wonder if Orr's elitism extends to editing out comments that disagree with his position?

Now what does Ockham's Razor tell you is more likely?

1) That Christopher Orr went through and deleted every comment that he found disagreeable or;
2) That most TNR readers think Althouse's "onion rings" post -- and subsequent hysterical defense of said post -- was batshit crazy.

I'm gonna go with 2, but that's just me.
