This forum is for the discussion of SEO for Google. The Forum Charter [webmasterworld.com] has always explained that it is not a place for editorializing:

Generic editorialising, whether pro or con, may be removed. We're not here just to vent, we're here to help each other understand. The noise level editorializing creates makes it difficult to filter through threads for information of real value.

Recently, many threads have turned to general editorial commentary about Google and their business practices - no matter what the opening topic. As the Charter explains, this is making it difficult to have discussions that are of value for those working with hands-on SEO. In fact, it has turned many threads here into our own version of "duplicate content."

You are invited to discuss Google Business Practices in the Google Business Issues Forum [webmasterworld.com]. Further editorializing here in this Google SEO forum may be edited or removed without notice.

Do not bring a soapbox into these threads - ranting is not welcome and will be removed!
