"Also, for some reason my previous post in response to you has been removed.  I don't believe I said anything outrageous, but posts disappear on this board these days at the drop of a hat."

Yes- it is quite frustrating- as well as inappropriate. I have previously documented- unless that, too, has been deleted, how, not only have there been deletions, but manipulations and deductions of both activity points and vote scores- designed to keep myself and others- who might be critical of management- from being moderators. It is disappointing that Agoracom must be collaborating in this- but clearly- it is being orchestrated by the company- and- even though not listed as a moderator or "Hub Leader"-  I assume through Tracy- but undoubtedly at BG's direction.
