You got it wrong on your first jerk-of-the-knee. UK2 Group does not own SoftLayer. In the press release you linked, the CEO of SoftLayer says, "Customers like UK2 Group are exactly who we had in mind when we began planning our network expansion. It's gratifying to see it help bring them great results, (said Lance Crosby, Chief Executive Officer of SoftLayer)." SoftLayer (after their merger with The Planet) is simply the largest cost-effective provider of high-end leased dedicated servers. And we use dedicated servers instead of "cloud based computing" because of the more plausible concerns over security and "back doors" in the cloud.

First off-
A) There's nothing looney or egotistical about assuming that at least to some level, sites like ATS are infiltrated by organizations like the CIA or organizations funded by the CIA. A free public forum created for dissecting conspiracies/country problems and maybe even with the potential to solve them would most certainly be on a long list of sites that something like the CIA would - at the very least - monitor. And ATS and GLP are the two MOST popular sites for this. No one is claiming they know exactly how this infiltration happens, to what scale it happens at... but it's a healthy suspicion.
B) I have provided actual cases of both GLP and ATS covering up threads/banning members for reasons OTHER than Ts&Cs. Who knows how many banned members can't share their stories here with us today? I'll re-iterate this link... WATCH OUT FOR AUTO RESPONSES DEBUNKING SPECIFIC CONSPIRACIES! www.abovetopsecret.com...
C) If there WAS infiltration, we would guess that it would not be easy to sniff out and it would not undermine the site enough to render it useless. You wouldn't want people to see through it, you'd want them to be able to talk about just about anything, and keep coming back for more ... you would just want to influence and control the message. You wouldn't necessarily delete every 911 post, but you'd definitely be there to debunk it. Who knows what the exact tactics are, but to assume they'd be obvious is just silly! And to assume we haven't caught them in the act of some of these tactic is ignorant... again I posted a link about how ATS justified removing a thread because the origin was All News Web .com, a blacklisted site. The origin was NOT ANW, and there was no reason or proof of this at the time, but this was an example of Ts & Cs being manipulated to suppress a thread (for who knows what reason).
D) Disagreeing or agreeing with these points is totally welcome and AWESOME! But resorting to ad hominem attacks is just lame and out of place here.edit on 8-12-2011 by ConspiracyTruth because: (no reason given)
Lonely are the Brave and the righteous. But with them is the deity!

What introduction post? I didn't make one, am I supposed to make one? What Ts&Cs are you talking about, and if I've broken them, then these Ts & Cs are designed to make it easy to ban or censor just about anyone.
