Hi, Fast Company.TV welcomes comments, including criticisms of our content. However, we do not allow personal attacks against our staff, contributors or guests. Several very personal attacks against a contributor were removed yesterday. The primary purpose of our many open discussions (via comments, Meebo, Twitter, FriendFeed) is it to facilitate discussion and debate about the business ideas and information we present.

I'm not sure why people are so upset about these comments being deleted. I haven't seen them, but it is FastCompany's site, and if the comments really were just personal attacks it's well within their rights to remove them.

People have been deleting comments from trolls for years. It's nothing new. Give it up.

What a great interview!

Thanks for the great content (and keep moderating as you see fit ... it's your show).

Tim Ferriss is awesome. The guy gets how to sell his ideas...

I watched the live stream of this episode (about 15 min) and decided not to leave a negative comment out of respect for your team. When I heard that fastcompany.tv was deleting the negative comments is when I chose to come back and voice my opinion.

Shame on you.

What is worse than a bad video? Removing the negative comments from same said bad video. So much for "naked conversations"...

What happened to all the previous comments?

Did you folks actually remove the negative comments that had been posted about this video? Come on, you can't be serious.

Holy smokes this was bad. Yeah, I thought this was an interview with Shel and not Ferris.

The first couple of minutes of this was really uncomfortable to watch - very awkward interaction between Robert and Shel. And Robert's suit and tie look out of place - especially as he's the only one wearing a tie.

Great interview. Learned of this site from my Fast Company mag subscription...I'll be a regular visitor.
