Humbly report, David, no hmmmm there to me.
Ownership in what sense? financial?
Yes.
Have not several CoB's here invested significant portions of time and effort in promoting the IHUB experience?
Sure have. So have you and I. Doesn't make any of us owners, in the financial sense. We're not the house, we're its occupants. Renters if you will. Up to us if we want to make the place lovely, or trash it instead. But the Landlord rules, and decides what's lovely and what's trash. then pins the rules on the wall, and you break them, you're toast.
You would deny them the same privilege of protecting that investment for scurrilous detractors posting off topic comments that are nothing more than a challenge to the CoB's integrity?
Not my call. HuBob's.
Over on what is now known as Usenet...
This is not the Usenet. This is IH. HuBob rules IH, posts the rules, we play by these rules, not Usenet rules.
My advice to anyone...
Thanks, but no thanks.
This lack of respect for moderators is very disturbing. They have made a commitment above and beyond that of mere membership. Without them there would likely be no IHUB for you to post on.
Respect is earned. Moderators that zap posts only because the posts point out the weakness of their argument don't get mine.
Cheers,
