FWIW I responded to Red's posts on the GRC board and was also castigated and removed as hub leader from a couple of boards. What was done simply as an experiment turned out to be completely true
Unfortunately I feel that even if the OSC's allegations get tossed, Agoracom has some damage control to deal with and needs to learn a thing or two about transparency. Afterall they are not just a stock forum, they provide IR services to clients and these types of shenanigans are a complete conflict of interest.
