Get over yourself with the censorship wailing. Unless Amazon serves you a Cease & Desist order for the content of a review you've posted on your own personally-owned website, then you have nothing to gripe at Amazon about. But you have no excuse for gouging Amazon for creating a marketing atmosphere that favors Amazon sales on an Amazon website.
They do have that right, and I have made the same statement before.
However, their customers and suppliers also have a right to criticize and - if they so choose - impose a monetary consequence on Amazon's behavior.

What's good for the goose, as it were.
