All we're asking for here is that you follow the rules. That's it.

You might disagree with the rules, but that's the condition for posting on this site.

I understand you think it's important to offer your opinions about other User's motivations for posting on the site. But, this is not what iHub is about - the goal here is dialog about the company.

There are plenty of other sites that allow discussion of the Users and it becomes virtually impossible to find any information relevant to the stock. There are too many people who want to post/argue about who is/isn't a basher, pumper, cheerleader, naysayer, insider, etc.

There are 25k posts on the site each day. Admin reviews the ones that are brought to our attention usually via the TOS report. Any expectation that every TOU violation will be removed is a mismanaged expectation. We review what we see.

If you are being antagonistic and ticking people off, it's more likely that your posts are going to end up on the TOU Report. If they violate the rules, then they will be removed. If you continue showing up there, it's likely you will receive sanctions. Bans, suspensions, etc. are designed to elicit different behavior and are usually progressive.

Think of this more like real life instead of the cyber world. Your mother or boss or mother-in-law (or whoever) says something you think is utterly ridiculous. Odds are you aren't going to say "That's the most moronic thing I've ever heard. You're obviously an idiot". Or you probably won't turn to the other people standing there and say "Did you hear what this freaking lunatic just said?" or "Some people are so utterly stupid it boggles my mind".

You're likely either going to explain how you disagree (without making it personal) or you're going to choose not to comment.

That's all we're looking for here - discussion about the company without focusing on or attacking other people because they hold a different opinion.
