I've asked you to please start a new thread if you want one to discuss your theory. I've asked you to not try and change the topic of this thread.

I'll not ask again.

Thank you

You might also want to review the policy mentioned in my 2005 post (individual links can be discounted and sellers can lose their ability to pass on PageRank/anchortext/etc., which doesn’t allow site A to hurt site B)."
That bolding is in line with my theory. To me that implies that the only effect can (in theory) be zero. That does not imply that sites can not have got an undeserved penality. If you have read my posts, you will have understood that algorithmes are not perfect.

To clear my standpoint:
  1. This discussion is not about selling links, since that topic has been discussed extensively elswhere. In bound bought links can bring down your PageRank from n to k.
  2. The same with IBL's that is identified as irrellevant.
To repeat: "That does not imply that sites can not have got an undeserved penality".

If that is the subject, I have nothing more to add.
