I find it remarkable that you were kicked off the board, not for the post itself, but based on your ihub posting history.
It is quite obvious that had any one of the loyalists posted the article that you presented, it would have been accepted at face value. It was your viewpoint they were so desperately afraid of, not your post.
Investor Village is 'fortunate' that it has the resources to determine not just the message of each individual poster but also the 'hidden' intent of that poster without the necessity of him actually posting anything. Fortunate, in that it allows them to remove potentially uncomfortable viewpoints before they actually are voiced. In this way they never have to deal with viewpoints that might diverge from their own special 'intent'. lol
It is an interesting experiment that has been quite fascinating to observe. I am most intrigued by the complete acceptance of such an obviously draconian and authoritarian regime, by people that would reject such a structure in any other form or venue in their lives. Such are the symptoms of the desperate that they can only exist in comfort by holding their hands over their ears and shouting "La La La La La" at the top of their lungs. They should perhaps be pitied for their attempt to hold onto their disintegrating dreams, as opposed to being exposed for their unethical tactics.
