"when we moved here from the bull i thought this forum was great. superior enough to encourage me to become a life memeber. i am now qustioning that decision."
BINGO.
I'm in jail and I don't even know why. (don't care, actually) There are people who came over from the Bull whose MO of attack, harass and TOS was a daily occurrence--for years. They took advantage of Matt's naivete, perhaps good will even, and are operating here like choir boys on the MSFT board. At first, posters came there. Now however, they have that board all to themselves and are not finding it to their liking. All dissenting voices have either left of their own accord or Matt has accelerated the process himself. The irony of it all is, the board is now so boring they're all back on RB doing what they like to do best...attacking, harrassing, TOSing, power tripping ...and keeping the board boring and exclusive to themselves. (If you check this MSFT board, you'll see there's not much going on. Before long, the board will once again be abandoned altogether). Their daily attacks on RB drove the AAPL board posters to this site but they couldn't take over the iHub AAPL board like RB so pretty much gave up (except for one particularly tenacious junk yard dog). You might think that's an advantage...but the AAPL boarders who remained here are anal retentives anyway. The really interesting (and yes, "colorfull") posters who contributed the most, didn't make the switch--due to the free speech issue and the idea that some guy not only censors their posts and keeps all debate politically correct, but actually puts the most asinine and disliked people among them in CHARGE of the boards!
IHub is quite good for some people actually. To others, the whole site is a jailhouse.
Denial of free speech not only violates the spirit of the internet, it makes for very dull conversation. To be a lifer on iHub, with all its strings attached, would make Jack...a dull boy indeed.
