This is the first time that channel has been so misused. I participated for a long while, and stopped some months ago only because the studies I was getting weren't useful to me and tended to impair my experience, rather than because of any issue of trustworthiness. I certainly am less likely to reenable the shield channel now than previously, but I also don't see the sense in making more out of this than the already eminently sufficient debacle that it is.
