Circular reasoning at its finest.

A conversation with iHub ADMIN:

me: I know we can't use the term "basher" as it refers to other members. Can we use the term "bashing" to refer to their comments?

example below:
Knuckle head: This company sucks
penny holder: Bashing won't stop it from going higher

IH Admin: We do not pre-approve posts.

me: I'm not asking you to pre-approve a post. I'm asking if a certain term is allowed.
Does the term "bashing" violate the TOS?

IH Admin: We can't respond to generalities. It depends entirely upon its context in a message.

me: ...but you couldn't comment on the specific "in context" example I used? Wonder why ihub is so reluctant to be clearer with their rules?
