You say "Back then, anyone that questioned the Agora message board about the USPTO re-exams was quickly deleted or banned. ".
I don't recall that happening at all. After all, "back then", per my recollection, not one single request for re-exam had been filed with the PTO. It wasn't even on the RADAR. And I certainly don't recall anyone being banned for mentioning it, ever.
Please support your claim or retract.
TIA,

PS: I suspect the above was the reason behind your post being deleted, though I see no deletion.
Why is it that certain posters are IMO suddenly just making things up and posting them as if true?
