...it fails established community standards of moronosity, in that it was not about some stupid scam stock, it had nothing to do with investment at all, it was just some political/social values issue, in which every participant is somebody else's moron, and there is no sport in potting any of them

Perfectly said. The reason why this thread works is that we are able to find humor in the investment logic of others. It was never intended, IMO, to be a vehicle for vitriol from the "let's take it outside" crowd. I'm not saying that the parties involved didn't have a perfect right to feel the way they did and write what they wrote, only that this particular thread didn't seem like the appropriate forum and that's why many "regulars" chose to keep on the sidelines. Now, if someone wants to create such a forum on SI, more power to them.
