Dear GGraessle,
Your post, as it is written, is a reference to an on-going conflict
between a few Trojan Horse iHub members and iHub Inc et al.
Please note your iSoapBoxSpeech versus the accepted manner
to enlighten others using the logic of philosophy rather than that
inner of a cheap hotdog you have served.
To put it in GotMilkSpeak:
Create your food for thought sandwhich,
not with apples & oranges,
but a brew of witches and wizards,
with a Nice Goblin attended to turn Chaos into Order.
Your White Elephant contained within that woody
will not invoke in others a thought of "I wish I said that."
But another transfer of a post like you just did.
Just another slice of bread without butter or honey,
and toasted with the burnt exposure of fear-mongering.
Doug
Here is a very good post that touches upon a salient issue as taken from the Q & A board.

Just tell me why in the world you want to be where you aren't wanted?
By whom? Let's use the Baseball thread as an example.
The board moderator is a Seattle fan. I'm a Yankee fan. Therefore according to you I should not be wanted. However it's a baseball thread isn't it. It's not a Seattle Mariners thread. So obviously the board moderator doesn't have a problem since whatever I post about the Yankees is not thread disruptive. Let's take that one step further however and discuss your recent run in over Lou Pinella. Should your posts get deleted?
As to the board I am complaining about.....
The RANT&CHAT Politics Allowed board from the Ibox is
WELCOME; This is a place for people to come and express their feelings of annoyances over and about politics.
Notice it doesn't say democrat or republican. It matters not what my political persuasion is. Nor should it the moderators. I post my annoyance about politics. If someone doesn't like it then that is their prerogative. I am not posting to appeal to their political philosophy and I would hope they would not post merely to appeal to mine. That is what a RANT is all about.
It's not a popularity contest. However their are people who post similar views as mine so I guess I could consider myself wanted by them. With those people I chat. And I sometimes chat with people who have opposing views as well.
Now if the board was a place for democrats only or republicans only that would be a different thing wouldn't it?
But it's not!
The bottom line is I paid for a premium membership and as long as I adhere to the TOU I agreed to my posts should not get deleted and neither should yours. Which means the IBox rules should mirror IHUB's TOU.
Finally to squash the notion that posting a long article is thread disruptive on a political board they obviously never heard of this guy.
Strom Thurmond, S.C. Legend, Dies
100-year-old was longest-serving senator
He holds the Senate filibuster record at 24 hours and 18 minutes.
I'm sure there were a few senators who would have liked to delete him.

Please start a "Top IHUB Posts" Board Survey to obtain
the opinion of others re: your fact made into a question.
Did gotmilk fail to recognize the irony?
But then, might you discover that the true irony is that
there exist nothing objective in your claim?
thanks,
doug
gotmilk,
You failed to recognize the irony. Sorry.
a Point without a Counter Point is dangerous,
but for what reasons...
Might a Point described as Truth in the form of an Opinion
really be just a Falsehood to pierce the gray matter of minds
such that the tip of a lie coated with a poisonous dip
from a Well of Knowledge corrupted with harmful influence,
cause the ruin intended through it spread from one to many?
Many times that tip of a lie is unknowningly inserted into others
by good & honest people that have strong defensives surrounding
the gray matter of their brains, but leave unprotected the gray matter
of their spinal cord, allowing these evil Points to be typed into messages
used as delivery systems to prick the minds of those whom trust them.
This post is a Counter Point to the Point made within the message
this message is a reply to, Post # 34 of this board, as follows.

while he posted on a desert dirt thread of Silicon Investor
to help those understand the invention process to create

that obtaining these Replies is like peeling an onion where after
one skin is removed, another takes its place until you reach

you will find inside the nut, an onion :o)

Can you lose a battle, and win the war?
We all know what the battle(s) are:...
What is the war to win?
Might it be the last battle of a war?
or,
Might it be better not to do battle(s),
and spend you time to win a war,
but to conduct your state of affairs with a goal?
---
then thats time away from your target,
meaning, the target will take longer to obtain,
or worst case, be denied because you didn't stay focused.

Challenge is just another name for test,
or to guage if you understand,
or understand what pathway you travel,
or where the path takes you,
or if you know where you want to go,
and if you recognize where you now is.

Challenge is good, and it works both way,
to be challenged and to challenge another
as both obtain information that can be used.
so,
Send to your printer 3 copies of all these messages
... e-mail a copy to Sheriff IH Admin (Matt),

that words we put forth are just echo(s) of words
we obtained from others that obtained them from others.
What we do with these "tools" as thoughts, is what counts.

as them words in dictionaries,
as them voices we read and hear from others

NOT a TopPost from IHUB...
But still very deserving....
Here is the text of a post on Silicon Investor that seems to do it's very best to let another poster what he/she thinks of that other poster....LOL.....
G-T I have had enough of your BS. I have watched you ruin one thread after another and have said nothing to you about it. Well, you have pushed me over the edge and this if for you. I doubt you have the attention span to read the whole thing but I hope everyone else does:
You're an idiot. A moron of the highest order. You're so stupid it's a wonder you can remember to breath. Intelligent ideas bounce off your head as if it were coated with teflon. Creative thoughts take alternate transportation in order to avoid even being in the same state as you. If you had an original thought it would die of loneliness before the hour was out. On an intelligence scale of 1 to 10 (10 corresponding to the highest attainable IQ) you're rating is so far into negative numbers that one would need to travel into another quantum reality in order to even catch a distant glimpse of it. Your personality is that of a rabid Chihuahua intent on destroying its own tail. Your powers of observation are like that of the bird who keeps slamming into the picture window trying to get that other
bird it keeps seeing. You are walking, talking proof that you don't have to be sentient to survive, and that Barnum was thinking of you when he uttered his immortal phrase regarding the birth of a sucker. You are, at varying times, tedious, boring, earth shatteringly hilarious in your idiocy, childish, moronic, pathetic, wretched, disgusting and pitiful. You are wholly without any redeeming social graces or value. If God ever decides to give the planet an enema you'd better run like the wind because anywhere you stand is a suitable place for The Insertion.
And you probably dress funny, too.
There is no animal so disgusting, so vile that it deserves comparison to you, for even the lowest, dirtiest, most parasitic member of the animal kingdom fills an ecological niche. You fill no niche. To call you a parasite would be injurious to the thousands of honest parasitic species. You are worse than vermin, for vermin does not pretend to be what it is not. You are truly human garbage. You are a fraudulent, lying, predatory charlatan. You are worthless compared to burnt-out light bulbs. Your will forever live in shame. You have nothing to say, and Godwin's Law does not apply when writing about you.
You are the anti-Midas, for all that you touch becomes valueless and unusable. Mothers gather their children close when you appear. You are Nature's way of saying "%!!" You should get a real job but you are unemployable. You misspell short words and I doubt you can dance.
You are as an oil slick upon a natural paradise. You would proposition Jonbenet Ramsey, and seduce her with bogus lines. You have made Tim Thorne look competent. You spoil everybody's day, and your horoscope is rarely accurate.
You are an aberration, a corruption, a boil on the Net that needs to be lanced. You are a poison we need to vomit. You are a tooth so rotten it infects the whole body. You are sperm that should have been captured in a condom and flushed down a toilet. You are no fun, and you don't know how to post. I don't like you. I don't like anybody who has as little respect for others as you do. Go away.
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say on Earth. I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions from your ex-CO. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to empress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly. You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a halfwit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock.
You grotty wanking artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard "I didn't say a bad job I said a PISS-POOR job" stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Quantum singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. D'oh.
The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of your of whey you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, study, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your posts. It just wouldn't have been "right". Rather like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

you've hit on a very good point. making oneself understood in this medium is a challenge, to say the least.
a good place to start, if you are sincere about altering the misunderstood quotient, is by examining this statement...
"What I say often is misinterpreted"
that in and of itself should indicate to you that you are having greater than average difficulty being understood.
which should lead you to realize that a large share, though certainly not all, of the problem is yours, and not other people's.
once you have firmly grasped that realization, and admitted to yourself (and to others) that your words are not effectively communicating what you are thinking and trying to say, then you will have initiated the journey down the path of not only
Effective Communication, but also
Enhanced Internet Friendships.
an important thing to keep in mind?
you are not the only one who experiences this. we are operating in a difficult environment here...
we do not benefit from seeing the other person's facial expressions, body language, nor can we hear their voice inflection. above all, it is critical that you keep this in mind when you put your thoughts down in words.
we can't see you and we can't hear you and we are not mind readers.
armed with that premise, with that approach and that frame of mind, and add to it the legitimate desire to be understood correctly and to be decent to fellow human beings, i predict great things for you.

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=283052
Yes, I did. iBoxes are cool for dressing things up neatly, but sometimes the graphics get in the way....They bugged me, so I got rid of them.
It's so perty now.
Sounds like a good idea, Dave.
Maybe one of these days, I'll score a place in the Top Posts List... :)
Yes, call it Crazy. Even call it dysfunctional. But I seem to see a trend developing whereby users from all around IHUB are finally calling a spade a spade.
This is healthy. VERY HEALTHY for IHUB IMHO.
As Board Admin here, I'll keep dancing around the boards I frequent and see if we can congeal what often appears on any internet investment message board as trivial rubbish into a "UNITED INTERNET NATIONS" of mutual comradery and attempted tolerance......
