The part that needs to be emphasized is :
"5. BASHING OR HYPING - Unsubstantiated claims of grandeur or impending doom are best left to Nostradamus as they will cost you some valuable points towards your rating. Also included in this category is repetition of the same question, fact or opinion over and over after a response has been provided or if there is currently no ascertainable answer.
Some HL's will let it go longer than others. Regardless eventually someone will do something about it. You have every right to post your thoughts, but when post after post contains the same opinion or viewpoint it does become a violation of rule 5...that's not a matter of interpretation."
When an opinion is backed by fact (i.e. history, FCC filing, PR claims) that go unrealized albeit the Safe Harbor statement, and then never subject to questioning or scrutiny, and then is censored, Rule #5 is invoked when those who have the power to censor choose not to discuss the facts. Their main retort is "How do you know?"
Oh , but this a totalitarian board.
