EGADS! My Post Was Deleted! (EGADS)

[Homebrew]

Test

[Coz Mabluda]

Is this board EGADS still active ?

[scorpio70]

does Matt ever stay up at this hour?

I was banned from the sljb board..

and right now I'm really disgusted that I can't post there.

[hasher]

dont mind me.. im just here to pick up investor chicks

[fung_derf]

You know about the toggle talk? Did your father have it with you when you were young?

[ergo sum]

I know what this toggle talk is about. Don't think I don't.

We had golfball size hail yesterday I was in the car. Not enough to do any damage but it sure was load.

[fung_derf]

Not at all arbitrary. If your family is anything like you, they need attacking. OMMMMMMMMMM OMMMMMMM

[ergo sum]

Ruthless, arbitrary and you even attack my family. Typical!!

[fung_derf]

Your Grandmother gave you tongue??!! That's just wrong! And no, I cannot put the post back. According to Matt's rules, your post clearly broke the board rule and therefore must stay deleted. I only had one rule, how could you not follow it?

[ergo sum]

Tongue yes she made tongue.
And could you just put the post back and make a new policy and then delete it again?

[fung_derf]

ergo is lying. He broke the rules and he knows it. Don't make me embarrass you by showing everyone your offensive post!

[ergo sum]

ooooooooommmmmm ooooooommmmm

This post was deleted on the meditation board and I want to know why?

[oldblue]

To the Board Chairman or one of the Directors. I respectfuly request that post #139 be deleted. That poster has had ample time to prove the allegation that was made against Me. That person made a PM tp Me on 5/20/2001 at 10:37PM. That is proof that He has seen My post #140. That poster needs to read the header on this thread. Thank You,
Oldblue

[oldblue]

In which post did I call You a basher?

[Bixmann]

Gary, You are not exempt from the rules either. You and Frank have been calling be a basher for over two months. Now Frank deletes my post because I call someone a "hypester." LOL

Either your ego has taken control of your judgement or your just not as smart as I thought you were. Equal standards is why I came here.

As to these other issues your raising. You may be able to detract from the truth over on your CBQI thread but I will not allow you to do it here. I have left a message for you in the parking lot. I explained in detail why I believe you need to make some things right with me. If you disagree, do it there. This is not appropriate here.

[Constant Reader]

Hi Bob, I dropped by to see how you were doing in the new job only to find you apparently found better things to do. Based on what I read this morning, I think you made a wise decision. Best of luck to you!

[Pawka baby]

Egads, my ENTIRE thread was deleted! It was similar to be successful SI thread here http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=50559
My ihub version had no mention of anyone specific or attacks on anyon...the removal of the threa was promted by the person supposedly being attacked posting an attack on others!

This ihub...a weird place indeed...not like the world need another message board site anyway

[Georgia Bard]

Bix I am not nor have I suggested anything to you of the nature you make ... you posted that after your were rejected on your requested to get any from me and then from the company. Also none of your negatives have I removed I have refuted them. I have nailed you for you touting stock pics and even them not the one where you make the buy rec only the one that claims how great you are with your pic.

I will not go to the SEC because there is nothing wrong with asking, I get probably 2 calls a day wanting stock from CBQI to do promotion. To date none has gotten any.

As far as your Broker support agreement I had no idea what you were talking about so I called an SEC attorney and when I found out what you had accused me I definitely let you know you were a liar.

But this is not about CBQI. This is about you not getting what you wanted in the way of stock. Also there are posts by you stating just the opposite of this post you made.

Again this is what I tried to convey to Bob that can happen.

You scream a lot though. It is all in your posts ...

:=) Gary Swancey

[Bixmann]

GARY,

YOU ARE A NARCICIST FOR BELIEVING I WANT TO BUY ADDITIONAL STOCK.

WHAT I WANT IS A STANDARD OF HOLDING YOU AND OTHERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MAKING MISLEADING AND HYPED COMMENTS TO INNOCENT THIRD PARTIES WHO LACK THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE.

BRING ON THE SEC. THEY WILL SEE THIS STOCK COST ME 95% OF MY PRINCIPAL. YOUR MANIPULATING THIS STOCK. NOT THE MMS. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT UP THE IDEA OF ME BUYING SHARES FROM THE COMPANY IN EXCHANGE FOR A BROKER SUPPORT AGREEMENT GARY. NOT ME. AS YOU'LL RECALL, I STOPPED TALKING TO YOU IN PERSON SINCE THEN. HMMMM..

I JUST WANT YOU TO BE MORE HONEST IN YOUR ASSESSMENT OF WHERE THIS COMPANY IS AND WHERE IT IS GOING.. YOU ACT AS THOUGH THIS COMPANY HAS NO FLAWS. IT HAS MANY. NO COMPANY IS WITHOUT FLAWS.

THEIR IS NO HARM IN DISCUSSING THOSE FLAWS. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK TO ME DIRECTLY, YOU MAY TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS IN THE PARKINGLOT. THIS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE FORUM FOR DIRECT DEBATE ON THIS TOPIC. I HAVE ALREADY MADE MY COMMENTS ABOUT YOUR CENSORSHIP OF MY POSTS ON THIS BOARD.

BIX

[Georgia Bard]

Bix you make more accusations and like to exercise "Selective Bias" and want to call the company a liar and me as well. Well I am the IR so take your complaint to the SEC. I have not deleted your negatives, I have refuted each one and for that I got scolded here by BOP.

Also you have to of the biggest P&Ds haters on the internet defending you, which is IRONIC ... Why don't you tell them about threatening to come to my front door, about buying me and my wife dinner, and the request for stock both from me to help me promote the stock , which I told you I am not a promoter I am an IR and I do not pay for tout, and the rejection of the company to supply you with stock in a private offering.

You claim I stalked you and I let it stand because it was laced in a war and peace negative and I have addressed your negative over and over and over again. I have asked Matt to review you and the thread. I have not done what you so blantantly accuse me of including deleting your negative posts and numerous times you have been refer to the SEC if you feel the company and I are lying. Take your evidence to them and they will contact us and we shall supply them with all the posts including your request for stock. Then the SEC will be able to review your posts and mine and the information the company has put out.

Now you want to continue this that is fine with me but you are not getting any stock and if you continue to disrupt the thread I will not be scolded again. I am curious to see what the two that are here supporting you have to say now considering their numeorus posts about hating P&Ds. CBQI has not issued any stock for a P&D and as long as I am in this position I will voice a solid NO to issuing or selling cheap shares to someone who wants to be paid to promote and I will deal with your negative opinions, spins whatever as a result from not getting stock.

All you have to do is make the complaint to the SEC all posts are available for their review and consideration. But you are not going to take your anger out on the CBQI thread here because you did not get stock to assist with the some promtion you want to help with which is non existent.

PERIOD! Side note: to Bob: this is a prime example of what I have been saying.

[Bixmann]

BOP

Thank you again for your responce. Is there any reason you failed to address my comment about applying equal "standards?"

Gary and Frank are the biggest name callers on that thread. Prior to 5/11/01, I dont' recall one post they did not label me a basher. They use terms like SPIN instead of addressing the real questions.

Now since your post, I am reading a comment by Gary that indicates he will delete more of my posts. That is a shame considering his self admited financial interest in this stock. Its biased. Plain and simple. I have not heard from IHUB on this issue, only you. I guess I need to address Matt to get IHUB's stance on this.

The worst part is: Gary has made some egredious distortions of what I believe to be the truth and now he is free to surpress my oppinions.

P.S. I do not agree that Minorities are ignored in a Demorcracy. They are the reason for its evolution. "Every man has equal rights." America's development of representative democracy, while not a pure democracy, is the closest we have on earth.

[Bird of Prey]

In the above link you will see that my post was deleted because it contained the word "hypesters". Now these same people label me a basher.

No, I see the post was deleted because you personally attacked other posters by calling them "Hypesters". There is a huge difference. Please note that several have had posts deleted for calling you a "basher".

The answer is simple. These individuals are hypocrits. They boldly call me a basher and delete my post for calling them hypesters. They own shares in the company (some more than others) and they want IHUB to grant them authority to create a forum that actively discriminates against points of view that shed negative light on a stock to shield their vested financial interests. Its unethical and its absurd.

There you go namecalling again. If you will allow me to relate a lesson I learned a long time ago. In an argument the first person to resort to namecalling loses.
Additionally, how can you know what is in the mind of another?
Besides, If the above were true would not every post you have made to the CBQI thread have been deleted? Would you not be banned from IHUB altogether? I have seen no heard no call for such an action by either Gary or IHUB. Conversely, because you feel the posters on the CBQI board overly postive do you support the idea of having their posts deleted and them banned from the site because you feel they are wrong and you are right? (I just love double edged weapons.) 8>)

The truth is, Gary wants the ability to Harrass any negative point of view and them delete defending posts. Gary calls this impression management. He is managing the impression that other may have if they read the opposing argument. Its Bad form.

I have read Gary's posts for some time. I have seen no evidence to support this claim. Further I believe "impression management" was coined by the media during the Nixon administration. though I could be wrong I don't think we have Gary to thank for that.

Democracy is based not on the pricipal of protecting the rights of the majority. It is based on the pricipal of protecting the rights of the minority from oppression and discrimination by the majority. Gary wants a FEUDAL form of government that allows COBs the authority to oppress the views of the minority. I want a demorcracy, and if you take a poll, so does the majority.

I'm sorry but a pure Democracy typically ignores the minority. This country does not meet the technical definition of a pure democracy partially because of the attention given the minority opinion. Further, and again based on longtime review of Gary's posts, I disagree that he seeks a return to a feudal governing system. He does appear to show many conservative values.

I want a demorcracy, and if you take a poll, so does the majority.

If you review the contest over the past few weeks here at IHUB. you'll discover that, like many businesses in this country and abroad, it is not a democracy and never will be.

If you allow posts to be deleted, their needs to be an easy way to have them reposted if it is dertimined the COB is wrong.

IHUB has in place an excellent system for review of deleted posts. those that have been deemed appropriate have been restored. I see no reason to expect differently in the future.

Tollerating one groups assult on another is wrong. If you label me a "basher", and delete me for labeling you a "hypester," you are showing your hypocracy by electively discriminating against me.

Unless you missed one, Have you not already pointed out all of the "basher" posts to Gary? and hasn't he deleted all of those you complained about? further are there not posts wherein you use other derogatory terms concerning Gary that remain on the CBQI thread?

In reviewing the "big picture" I have taken all of these things into account. Yes there has been some namecalling by both sides of the argument on that thread. Many were removed but not all. Perhaps some remain because the majority of the post is relevant and the CoB felt they should remain even though the poster erred by adding an attacking one-liner. I don't know, I haven't crawled inside Gary's head to figure out what he is doing. That isn't my responsiblity. It also isn't admins responsiblity. Neither is it admin's responsibility to soothe the hurt feelings of someone that has been losing an argument.
This is what I mean by "get over it" and move on. Learn from your mistakes. Come back better prepared. Have more evidence. Be able to prove your claims. Those that think a good arguing style is to pick apart the posters communication skills are sadly underprepared. Sit in on a debate competition and see haw far that style goes. Do your homework and sit at the table for as long as you can keep presenting facts. Start namecalling and you get escorted from the building. Without a review.

Have a good day everyone.

Personal boards issue

IMHO, Discrimination based on a biased financial interest is completely unethical and ought not be tolerated by any stock site.

I absolutely agree! It would almost be best if the chairmen had NO interest whatsoever in the boards they chair. Of course who would then want to be the chairmen. Only promoters and people with financial interests seem to want to be the chairman.

Also, power corrupts. I personally believe that some RB and Yahoo TOS people delete posts/users which are not tos violations while overlooking TOS violations of other posters. For personal gain? I know yahoo now charges these public companies to be in their search engines. Conflict of interest. Can any message board be run fairly? I don't think so, some are just more fair than others.

There's a certain promoter here who states he has no interest whatsoever in the stocks he touts. Why then has he wasted years touting these stocks by starting so many boards if not for some sort of gain? He's done years worth of research, attended all shareholder meetings, toured the factories, met everyone who works there... Even momo players quickly move from one stock to another. Why does he also go to such extremes to attack people, delete their posts, threaten to sue them, harass them if not for some sort of gain? I'm a chairman of a board and I hate it, being attacked, trying to do the fair thing... How does that go? I wouldn't want anyone to be president who wants to be president. A very tough job. No thanks.

[Bixmann]

Once again,thank you for the thoughtfull post.

My complaint is not that a COB delelets my posts. It is that the standard applied by COB is not being applied consistantly.

For example: http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=109090

This is clasic CBQI thread BS. In the above link you will see that my post was deleted because it contained the word "hypesters". Now these same people label me a basher. Clearly, the COB is applying biased standards for unacceptable posts. If not, then why not delete posts containing the word "basher?"

The answer is simple. These individuals are hypocrits. They boldly call me a basher and delete my post for calling them hypesters. They own shares in the company (some more than others) and they want IHUB to grant them authority to create a forum that actively discriminates against points of view that shed negative light on a stock to shield their vested financial interests. Its unethical and its absurd.

[Bird of Prey]

Bob,

In this particular instance we aren't talking about a "personal board". The board in question is a stock board. Posts have not been deleted "willy-nilly". In fact there are many posts that I personally would have deleted from several posters for personal attack and thread disruption. The post in question was Off Topic to the thread it was posted on. Simple, straightforward. As far as I can see there hasn't been any discrimination towards Bixmann by being deleted. If anything I think some of the others posting there may have been discriminated against because their personal attacks (directed at Bixmann) were deleted while his weren't. Ultimately though Bixmann appears to be inspiring Gary and several others on the board to bone up on their research to refute Bixmann's claims. Since no one is hurt by this exchange of information, if that is the reason for the latitude given Bixmann then the end justifies the means.
Stock Boards can still suffer from thread disruption, just like Personal boards. The criteria for off topic has to be pretty strict. As I said previously, If Gary had deleted ALL previously Off Topic posts made by Bixmann perhaps this issue would not have arisen. Alas thread moderation is not an exact science. We must leave it in the hands of individuals. As long as there is a reasonable grievance procedure, things should work out OK.
Granted, so far I have upheld the CoB's decision. But a post will come that has been unreasonably deleted. Rest assured I will recommend that post be reinstated.
Additionaly, and this goes for everyone. The number one post killer is *OFF TOPIC*. Post in the right thread and your chance of deletion drops way down. And don't beat yourself up over getting a post deleted. Find the thread it belongs on and put it there!

Bixmann,

Regrettably I am not employed by IHUB at the present time. I am also not a Self appointed CoB. I was recruited by persons closely associated with IHUB and asked to take over stewardship of the ADAPT thread. this thread is currently being revamped and will debut later this week. Additionally, I have helped to provide both Matt and Bob with advice and an ear towards the improvement of IHUB.
Also be advised that IHUB admin (Matt) has the final word concerning deletion and/or restoration of posts. He does read and review what is presented here and makes his own judgement in his own time.
The Article you posted would fit in other threads as I stated earlier. I encourage you to revist the link where you obtained it and repost on a more appropriate thread. Be sure to include the original authors credit (if available). I am certain it would stimulate quite a discussion on the VOICE thread in particular.
Concerning the "Big Picture", I believe my comments were directed at both sides of your argument with Gary. Perhaps if I put it more simply. It belongs on the Parking Lot...IMO. That goes for both of you! 8>)

Sorry I missed this before.

RE: In Conclusion, If you want to see the words you posted in message #1836 on the CBQI thread, post them in the proper thread. If you wish to engage in a verbal altercation with Gary...take it to The Parking Lot.


I was waiting in the Parking Lot before I came here. Gary is avoiding the discussion.

IMHO, Discrimination based on a biased financial interest is completely unethical and ought not be tolerated by any stock site.

That, in a nutshell, is where I'm coming from on the "personal boards" issue.

[Bixmann]

BOP

Thank you for making the time to review the post. Are you associated with IHUB professionally (Employed) or a self appointed COB? IF so which Thread.

Although I am disappointed in your opinion, I am encouraged by your dilligence.

AS to your additional comments(i.e. Tone and Harrassment): I think it is important to look at the "Big Picture." Gary has been goading me to do analysis that I am unwilling to do without knowing specific information. Rather than let the conversation end, he makes personal attacks on my integrity because I do not "DO WHAT HE ASKS."

[Bird of Prey]

Bixmann,

After reviewing your post titled "LET'S SEE IF THIS GETS DELETED" #1836 on the CBQI thread. I would have to agree with the deletion. The post is off topic for the thread. This post would fit quite well on Gary's "A small voice in cyberspace" (VOICE) thread, but it does not belong on a stock specific thread. Further it appears that by the tone and number of your posts you are bordering on harrassment of the CBQI thread. Gary seems to be allowing you a great deal of latitude that he has not allowed several other posters. He has deleted several others for PA and TD while allowing your posts to remain. That is his privilege as a CoB. IMHO, the more you let someone get away with, the more that they push the boundries. Often to the point of absurdity.
In Conclusion, If you want to see the words you posted in message #1836 on the CBQI thread, post them in the proper thread. If you wish to engage in a verbal altercation with Gary...take it to The Parking Lot.

[Bird of Prey]

Provide the post Numbers and I can obtain then or get permission to reveiw them from the board chairman.

BTW, a great many people are confused by the Rights vs. Privileges issue. As a for instance we are guaranteed the RIGHT to the Pursuit of Happiness in the Constitution. However it would have to be a PRIVILEGE to actually be happy.
An example closer to home might be that we have a right to Free speech (we can't shout GUN in a high school lunch room) But we still must pay to put our message in the media (newpaper ad, tv ad, etc.) thus that is a privilege.

Geeze which is it. The Terms of Use are fully displayed for your review and consideration.

[Georgia Bard]

I have deleted your posts and the ones that are deleted are your article that is off topic, or your stock pick. I even left the name calling ones. I do not know what you are talking about because you posts are there. Also when Bob posed that limit on you I agree to restore your posts from a month ago.

I have refuted your posts. and I understand last night was confusing for you. always wise to be in full control of your senses when posting late on a Friday night.

Gary,

Unless you somehow relisted my deleted post, you make an argument that is difficult for me to prove a false statement.

Bix

[Bixmann]

That is the type of comment I would expect from a stock site that condones censorship.

Whethor described as a Right or a Privilege, Privileges that are not evenly applied to individual members is discrimination. Is that what IHUB is wishes to do?

IMHO, Discrimination based on a biased financial interest is completely unethical and ought not be tolerated by any stock site.

[Georgia Bard]

LOL ... You have no posts that are deleted that are negative only off-topic, stock picking promotion or flat out thread disruptive. so which is it, the stock picks or what. This thread no longer of any useful purpose especially since you do not want to read the terms of Use. This is a moderated site Bix.

[Bird of Prey]

Bix,

If you wish to have your posts reviewed please send the posts in question along with any relevant information that will aid the review (see ibox above).

BTW, You are misusing the term Rights. In this instance (posting to a message board) you should use Privilege.

GARY

Your continued biased views toward any posts that is in direct conflict with your personal and vested financial interests is an egredgious TOS violation. Censorship, is not acceptable unless it is balanced. You call my posts disruption and delete them. If you are going to do that you better be deleting the Hype as well. Screaning out the negative alone is my complaint with you. Your employment with CBQI and Options at an inflated price are affecting your judgment. My posts, while negative, do not attack you or anyone else. I have the right to be heard.

Bix.

P.S. Deletion of negative posts is much more disruptive to the credibility of on-line stock sites than my posts are. If IHUB allows this unwarranted behavior, it will become the SUCKER's SITE, where investors come to chat one another up for making bad decisions. OR worse, talk each other into making more. Your view of what a site should be causes many on RB not to post here. We loose our money, we have a right to vent our emotions. Potential investors ought to know that as well.

[Georgia Bard]

I know ... give Matt some time to see what happens.

Gary: I have been reading the posts here and on Bob's Q&A board. If You want to take it back to SI I would welcome that now.

SI Jeff will do the job if needed. Regards,

I think that is appropriate.

[Georgia Bard]

No what is happening here is exactly what I have been trying to express would happen. I wont no part of anarchy and the rules of IHUB are not being enforced and thus this thread to me is an example of what IHUB will become and so I wished to be removed immediately so I can unmark this thread as it is nothing but anarchy.

This one is the Chair's problem.

Pot---->Kettle----->Black

[Georgia Bard]

What I find amazing is that since post 16 this thread has gone nutz. We are appraoching 100 posts and most are simply nonsense. However, I understand Bob made a request and thus if he starts deleting posts he contradicts his personal beliefs and moral obligation to himself.

And thus the point of the rules to prevent this is very validated and most of these posts should have been removed before it got this out of hand. Because it is still going on it raises the very question Is the examples set by Admin Bob's boards that he chairs of what IHUB will be like under Bobology?

I believe the examples of total anarchy have been absolutely proven. I would step in and clear this mess up but Bob is the Chair I am just the director. I am here just to offer an opinion ... the tranquility of the thread to remain on topic, no personal attacks, and total disruption is in the hands of Bob.

Welcome to allowing the concept of letting some just say what they want.

I wish to be removed as a director Bob for I will not be part of a thread that in itself is proof that the lack of a chair taking action only creates anarchy.
