AntMan,
Are you referring to Luc's preference that posters he finds unpleasant cease to either post in his thread, or at least to him; while feeling free to post in general to threads (like the DELL one) that considers him to be an unwelcome poster on average and in particular to people who do the same?
BTW, when Michael Burke was ousted from the DELL thread due to complaints by the regular threaders, I publicly expressed my discontent at such silencing of dissent (I preferred to engage MB in debates instead). Some of the posters so eager to free this thread of so-called JOTTs gave Michael a martyr's welcome back in the Ask God thread after his ouster, AFAIR. That, and the outrage expressed by those who find any attempts to change people's opinions regarding their personal investment choices as suspicious, but nevertheless go around advicing their family and friends (and not to mention the whole SI readership) about the possibility of an impending crash in the equities market evinces the general human (bear and bull alike) tendency of being oh so blissfully unaware of ones own double standards, to the extent that it brings tears to my eyes.
(The previous paragraph, AntMan, is not directed at you.)
As to why I post in this thread, as many have enquired of me, I post so that a more balanced view is presented in this thread. This is not a thread by, for and of bears (as many regulars seem to claim), there is a general audience of investors who, while silent, still follow this thread. Some of them in their weaker moments may actually decide to follow the general advice forwarded by this thread (which, as the thread regulars in their present bitterness know very well, was and seemingly continues to be a financially unsound track to follow). I was there and did exactly the same in 1997-98. So there!
