But in the end, I probably would take the article down, too.

At the beginning of any kind relationship, it's generally best not to point out the other person's flaws - that kind of behaviour is traditionally saved for the breakup :)

I guess the same is true for okcupid and match.com.

Sure, but if I write an article about how much the Church of Scientology sucks, and then start dating someone who's a member, I'm not gonna go back and erase it.

Is that why you're still single? ;-)

We may pick on OKCupid team for that, but most of us under similar circumstances would probably do the same (delete the article). Just because of implicit pressure from new corporate culture.

We are not under similar circumstances though, so I enjoy pointing fingers at OKCupid for that.
