Well, they went into overdrive the moment the status quo changed in any form.  It didn't matter WHAT the change was....it would automatically be painted neg.  As I said, I'm all for sound criticism being brought up, but there is no interest in the weighing of viewpoints.  Rather, it is a clear effort by the shorters, with the blessing of Ihub admin apparently, to facilitate the "fake discussions" on the more volatile boards.  I should point out that critical comments on most other boards I post to has not led to any responses or scrutiny-- just the ones they seem to have a "special" interest in.

Tenkay was flagging ANYthing that I posted, and when I mentioned this to the Ihub admin, they promptly ignored it.  The moderators have a special relationship and so the deep biases of the boards are exposed.

I won't spend all my time and posts dwelling on it, but if I have a contribution or say, Ihub and its cronies will be reduced to a website of shorters where no one wants to participate in a discussion.  I was stunned at their lack of oversight of the shorters....these are people with sad lives that Ihub facilitates by allowing the same shorters to moderate.  Kind of like when China makes sure that all sentiment is pro-Communism behind the great Firewall.
