as always before reaching conclusions best to hear both sides of the story, as this post shows. thanks for the info.
I do not agree however with your statement that others are engaged in "harassment and abuse". legitimate questions were asked as some activity looked questionable. and I believe you answered most.
my belief is that a few whales are still gaming the system but because of the higher scrutiny it is much less than it was. that scrutiny should not be silenced or censored (it has been useful for the most part) but users must not accuse and slander people so lightly.
