I hope you’ll be pleased to know that I processed the violation report on your message as an ‘ignore’. You’re as entitled to your opinion as anyone and the fact is that most of the recent messages posted, including mine, have broken agora rules. I guess I should thank agora for showing such tolerance as I’m sure they’re following this forum.

“…I think I recall other folks banned and then be reinstated…”

I could respond by going into detail about how the circumstances surrounding other instances are such as to render the instance I cited as unique but that would be to stray from the point which is the degree of trust and credibility which one can assign to other members on an anonymous public forum; evidently, your measure is broader than mine, and it seems you’re not alone judging by share of the recommendations. So be it. I think we can both agree that the ideal is that no one has any advantage over others in the manner of sharing opinion and information.
