Re: "I think this is a primary reason why intelligent discourse has dried up on this board and is now dominated by a few birds of the same feather."

I've been skimming this board for almost two years-- there has never been a pattern of intelligent discourse. There was Zeev Hed and a couple of other essentially pro-RAMBus people who tended to make posts that were interesting, coherent, and/or useful, plus a couple dozen occasionally brain-dead longs who were basically operating in the vein of a Stalinist in Eastern Europe in the mid to late 40s. There were also fewer than a dozen people who generally intelligently hacked RAMBus from a variety of different perspectives (some legal, some technical, some ethical, some all of the above).

There was exceedingly rarely any non-drivel-based discourse exchanged between opposing sides. As to the decline in love-fest posting, I think a stock falling more than 90% from its 52-week high and representing interest in a corporation that has been found guilty of civil fraud tends to have a limited number of admirers.
