OCyou2, you may have missed the post that others of us considered particularly harsh.
Others? Has there been some super secret discussion of my post? You and flash are the only people I have seen who have NEGATIVELY commented on my now deleted post. Is that who you are referring to? I'm just curious.

The post appears to have been deleted earlier today. I found it extremely harsh.
I would venture a guess that the post was not deleted for being harsh. I believe it was deleted because I publicly named the moderator of this board and explained how I came about the information. Perhaps this is not the case. Perhaps, as you say later in your post, the moderator should have the courage to own what they did and explain to us why the post was deleted. There was nothing harsh in my post. I reiterated my belief that a few people (you included, yes, I'm calling you out, let's see if you have the courage to own it if it's true) have banded together to silence the posts of people they don't like, based simply on how much they like them, and not at all on the merit of the post. That is 4 year old mentality. This is not the first time in this thread that I have made that statement. Wales made a statement that I should ignore the 4 year old behavior and a dozen people liked that post. So you have a dozen or so other people who have indirectly made the exact same statement. So was that harsh? If that is true are you also publicly reprimanding those other dozen people as well? Or is it just me? So tell me, since you seem to be big on owning things these days, what exactly I said that was harsh or untrue?

While I have no problem with making suggestions to Jacob, and I have made a few, I find criticisms in open forum of the owner's management style to be inappropriate.
You don't criticize management at places you frequent when they do something that offends you???

Mystery Shop Forum Meta is an ideal area to make suggestions, and I have found Jacob very welcoming whenever I have PM'd him with a suggestion.
I agree and I might join in a discussion in Meta on this. BTW, here is what you said about the thumb down button in the Meta thread about it:

Well said. It means censorship with no accountability.
Do you still believe this? Will you join in the fight to take it away? Or have you been using it for the very reason you posted against it?? Own it one way or the other.

Of course, it does take the courage to own the suggestion and make it directly.
The one thing you said that I agree with.
There are reasons that a body stays in motion
At the moment only demons come to mind
