Need editor advice

In my article "Organizing those 1s and 0s" I want to answer Frank, but 
I'm not sure about magazine policy on the comment by seeker_moc. It 
seems I can only approve both for posting. What shall I do?

Have a Great Day!

When I see comments like this I often try to determine two things:

1. What would happen if I approve the comment...
   a. In this case it could start a 'war' of comments on the magazine,
   b. The author would feel as though he was not ignored, but in this
case I am not sure the magazine caring will change his opinion.

2. What happens if I do not approve the comment...
   a. The author will feel they are being ignored,
   b. There is no chance of a 'war' of comments on the magazine.

At this point it would be my opinion to not approve the comment, but I
will let others weigh in on it.

Our usual approach is to decide whether the comment is constructive or
not. Critical comments are fine as long as they're constructive. That
one wasn't, so it's gone.
