In my 10+ years on DU, I've had maybe 5 posts hidden in all that time, and I've NEVER had a time-out or my transparency page made visible.

But, in just the LAST 90 DAYS, since I "came out" for HRC, I've had 6 bogus hides and been on a 48-hour forced hiatus.

Their rabid alerting swarms are a menace to civil discourse. THEY SHALL BE SHUNNED! LOL!
