Comments not showing after "awaiting moderation"

  I have tried several times over the last week to comment on Dolske’s blog (dolske.wordpress.com , Photon, Firefox nightly), using my email at gmx.com
  Each time, my comments remain “awaiting moderation” for a while, then vanish without publication. Comments from others appear in the interim.

  My comments are constructive, respectful and not abusive.
  I receive no notification from the blog’s moderators nor from wordpress (except for “follow” notifications”), so I’m left in the dark.

  Each time, I’ve been unable (through time pressure) promptly to respond to the “follow” email, though I have responded later & it seems fine. I wonder if that could be a technical problem.

  I’ve tried resetting cookies for the blog in question.

  Now I am trying to contact the blog again to ask what has happened, using this wordpress account:

  Your comment is awaiting moderation.Hallo again. I have tried to make some comments here which are constructive, respectful and not abusive, yet they are marked “awaiting moderation” for a while, then do not appear.
  Could you please do me courtesy of emailing me and expaining why this has happened, or sorting out any possible malfunction.

  I await a response, again.

  How may I proceed to get my comments noted & seen, or at least discover the reason for their not appearing?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  The fact that you see the “awaiting moderation” line means the comment is being posted correctly.

  The only reason the comment would then disappear is if the owner of the site chose to delete the comments instead of approving. Blog owners have the right to delete comments if they choose, and they’re under no obligation to give you an explanation for why they do it.

  Thanks.
  If you can guarantee absolutely that those posts were seen,
  I am left wondering why the blog owner is so rude & disrespectful.
