Jon, <Did SI delete posts with "swear words," or potential S.E.C. violations, or what? > I think one of them was Carrie Lee's name and email address, which I guess SI thought was a disclosure of private information. Of course, she wrote her screen name [which she claims is her real name] and her email address [which must be real because SI people wrote to her at it and WSJ published their mail] on her article, so she was happy for it to be known.
The point is, if the SEC does take an interest in this discussion, they can get it all from SI. See the post from SI Bob, below. It's nice to have complete records of everything - I'm glad I didn't give Carrie a chance to make up quotes from me. She made up that I was trying to hurt investors, even though she only had written stuff to get her story, but they dropped that claim pretty quickly. She also made up that the intention was to hurt shorters, who had nearly a month to cover if they felt like it so there was really a very low chance of anyone being stuck in a position they didn't like. Sure, it was presented as a massacre of shorts, but most people can figure out that if you want to massacre somebody, you don't tell them a month in advance, in public, when they have got a huge escape hatch. I don't think poetic license is illegal.
Look there is Mama Bear, right now, with no look of fear on her face, despite being a Big Bear and the Great Globalstar Memorial Day Massacre is tomorrow [today here]. Even Dumb Dweeb probably isn't that worried. Dumb Dweeb probably figured out that naming Memorial Day as the day for the massacre couldn't actually be, because there is no trading on that day.

When you delete posts as you did here on this board, do you and/or SI archive those posts before you delete them?
"Deletion" here means no more than "removal from public view". The messages still exist. You just can't get to them. We can, if need be.
