I read the review AND luv-em-n-lv-em 's posting (before it was deleted)
If you catch the drift of luv-em-n-lv-em's handle you can appreciate why the post was deleted. luv-em-n-lv-em's post was pure speculation, critical and hurtful, maybe he had his turn and he wants to spoil it for the rest of us
As far as the handle goes, it is pretty much descriptive of the experience. How it relates to my posting being deleted is frankly beyond me!
As for your handle, "Stella" suggests you might be female. "Hardon" suggests otherwise. If you could tell us whether you are a SP or SR (service recipient) that would be helpful in evaluating your comments.
As for one of my posts being speculation, I assume you are referring to me questioning if the review was a shill. I didn't say it was a shill definitely and asked for the experiences of other members. At the end of my post, I even admitted that my earlier review of Anita was somewhat harsh, but when everything other than the new review itself was deleted that disappeared too.
As for being hurtful and critical, I can see how my review could be seen that way (though I stand by the essence of my statements) but my response to the newer review was really pretty tame. Frankly, this would all be much clearer if the evidence were still on display. There are enough PERBs and SPs with opinions/attitude (which frankly I like) to cut me down to size if that was called for and I'm OK with that. If people want to be treated with kid gloves they are in the wrong forum.
Remember that luv-em-n-lv-em's post cost him nothing; on the other hand Anita advertises on PERB, provides a unique service and luv-em-n-lv-em's post probably cost her $$$
This is all true, but what's your point? Am I supposed to pay to do reviews? Are advertisers to be protected from reviews? Isn't everyone's service unique? Am I only allowed to do reviews that won't have a negative financial impact? Frankly, I think you are hurting your case by raising these points.
The moderator made the right call on this one
Maybe he did. But given the fact that other than posts on the board I have heard nothing about this from any moderator, I don't even know that my comments are the cause of these actions. Maybe someone else said something really grievous and the moderator decided to excise everything except the review for some reason.
