Not at all. There have just been endless debates over tagging and the proper implementation of tags for Hubski. (I had some great ones with kleinbl00, when he roamed the site.) It is still not resolved in my mind. However, I (more or less) hold the position that tagging systems are either pretty awful, or encourage activity antithetical to the structure of Hubski; and that the actual intent of the tag on Hubski is not effective categorization of posts, but one free dimension around which users can aggregate content and/or editorialize as they choose.

It's not a extremely defensible position, I'll grant. And, although I think the tension of choosing a good tag is usually a positive thing, it can be frustrating. But, I still have yet to be convinced that multiple tags will be an improvement.
