The process being followed in this case by asking for majority votes on the basis of ones opinion of misinformation is not democratic. It is fair to say that there are opinions that disagree with your findings FJ, and that, just because your post requesting more thumbs up gets a higher number than the other loaded question amounts to biasing the vote and should be sticken completely. We on this board trust that the hub leaders and fellow members capable of removing posts do so judisciously and reasonably. You may deny it FJ but you have a following that will support almost anything you post. That adds another layer of bias into the equation. The method employed in this case is therefor unjust imho and should not be followed in the future. Yes, keeping a handle on overly negative, maliscious or misinformation is paramount. That said there are differing opinions about whether what he posted was such and imo should not be put to a vote. There is not a reasonable mechanism in place on this board to facilitate adequately these disagreements of opinion. I have no problem with differing opinions and although some negativity can creep in there must be some middle ground to keeping this real and keeping it reasonable. I wish everyone well as we seek safe harbour. Sincerely. Derekwpg
