I can relate. I posted a story about Apple's disruption at the POS talking of how the new retail App allows for purchases in store without ever having to contract a store rep. I posted that alongside why I believe this is important considering the missed opportunity that was GoogleWallet. The post got front page before getting sunk by mods. I dont know why, but there was nothing sensationalistic about the title or the content. And this is a space that I have considerable capabilities in. And I was not trolling.

Since then none of the stories I post under this handle ever see the light of day. They cannot be voted up and they just face a slow death. I stopped spending any time posting on other threads since then because I cannot see the value in contributing to stories if my stories are not allowed to play fairly.
