we all appreciate your hard work going back so far to find and hand out alleged violations from the long past. here's one you graciously sent to me. again, i appreciate you taking your valuable time to do so. but i'm not sure exactly what my violation was. in order for me not to make the same mistake again, could you please tell me the rule i violated. here's what you sent.

"We have received a violation report regarding your post and have found it in violation of our policy.

Original message:
G's post wasn't negative to you. He didn't even mention you in it. Yet here you are again after you promised to leave.
as for lies. you can say anything is a lie and use it as an excuse to start posting again, which is what you did.
it would be nice if just once you kept your word about something."

of course i was writing to hoov and simply defending G., after hoov re-appeared when promising to leave this board alone. it's almost as if you were appointed to work with hoov to disparage ZEN. i say that because of this letter you wrote on august 13th 2014 lauding hoov.
"Zen Folk...
I've popped on this hub from time to time to post and have followed the Zen goings on daily, both here and at SH, as I find my entry. I have been a member here on Agoracom for 6 years and a Hub Leader for almost as long. I have interacted and shared responsibilities with Larry Hoover on many hubs during the last several years. Have met him twice and have had an opportunity on multiple occasions to watch him interact.
I have seen Hoov on countless hubs both deified and vilified as he unselfishly shared his thoughts on many plays and his take on their reality. Witch hunt aside, I think we can ALL agree that the man is extremely intelligent, understands the industry and works tirelessly and unselfishly to deliver answers and opinions to any member both here and across the board, who simply asks. He shares what he knows. Larry has ties to many companies for a reason. He is a gifted teacher and communicator. He makes the difficult/technical, easy to understand.
Hub Leaders are not meant to be cheerleaders for a play. They are here to contribute where they can and to help facilitate a useful, realistic and effective experience for all investors. Much goes on behind the scenes. This is where naming names, discrediting, he said/he said... etc. should take place. I agree with Agora Admin on that fact. Having said that, when a member's reputation, character and integrity are being publically debated and questioned, he has the right to defend himself and speak his truth.
Hoov and Glorieux are two of the most intelligent, savvy and influential members of this community. It would be a shame to lose either in the capacity of leader and/or member. They, like you and I have the right to invest our time and hard earned dollars wherever they see opportunity. We can either jump on board and follow their lead or agree to disagree and hold back. The important thing is that we do our own DD and jump because WE have made the call. After years of holding my hand over a pretty flame I am tired of getting burned. I appreciate all sides of the story. I am grateful when someone brings to my attention a truth that I had never considered, due to my own lack of knowledge and/or expertise. I want someone to poke holes in my theory and make me pause and consider before watching my $$$$ go down the drain. The mark of a great hub is BALANCE.
Regardless of who is right... Who said and did what... Hoov deserves and has earned his right to be here. In my mind we are damn lucky that he is and that even through blackouts and a self imposed hiatus he finds a way to communicate important facts and details.
I hope Hoov remains a HL.

since 2014 you've only about 3 posts on this board. now your appointed hub leader with what looks like little interest in ZEN.
i'm just asking a couple questions and i know as hub leader all the power is with you, but i'm hoping you can help me out on this without taking down this post.
do we ZEN supporters have to fear being banned once again after this long time of peace?
