Post# of 154
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.

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. 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. 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.

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.
