> What's the difference between jumping to a conslusion, and pointing out an observable problem? I have seen, firsthand (along with anyone else who's bothering to pay attention), how Lou is censored in ways that others are allowed to post. I have seen, firsthand, how his patient pleas for equity are ignored. This is no conclusion I've jumped to... and since every rational explanation for why this continues has been ruled out, I have no choice but to assume that something beyond-odd is going on here.

Why is the real issue swept under the proverbial rug, while a petty side-issue is hyper-focused on? Clever tactic, if it weren't so poorly over-used. Obviously when someone here points out a problem, that someone *becomes* a problem. And the original, and real, problem, continues to fester.

You wrote,[...when... can one expect a notification to be responded to?...].
I am unsure if you do or not not have a notification that has not been responded to. If you have an outstanding notification, could you post here, without posting the URL or giving any infomation as to who the author is, if the notification:
A. has to do with the subject in this thread?
B. If so, without posting the URL, in your opinion, if the notification was responded to, could any response be relevant to the aspects in this thread?
C. If so, in your opiniion, does a significant time lag from the time that you notified the administration and the amount of time between a reply, have a factor in members thinking that it is good for the community as a whole for the time lag to exist?
D. If it is Mr. Hsiung's philosophy that acting before a forest fire is part of his TOS here, what in your opinion could members here conclude if they knew what the post was? In other words, in your opinion, could there be a spread of what is in the notification because it remains outstanding for a significant time lag? If so, how, in your opinion, could that be good for the community as a whole or not good for the community as a whole?
