Here's my letter. Dear Mistress. It's my understanding you have suspended Maurice Winn for misdeeds on the QCOM Coming into Buy Range thread. I can't for the life of me understand what you're doing and think that this is an outrageous miscarriage of justice. I've been a poster on that thread for almost 2 yrs, and a lurker for much longer. The rise of QCOMs stock price has brought a gaggle of new thread members, some of whom have behaved in a distinctly uncivilized manner. Some have characterized this as a battle between the old and new guard, although I think that would be a grave distortion of the truth.It's true that the old style was different than the new, but the issues at stake here are larger than style. Many, both new and old,had already given up the hope that the qualtiy of life and interraction suitable to SI could be resurrected, hence the proliferation of QCOM threads.. Maurice had been making a rather valiant attempt to raise the standard of discourse. I don't know what exactly prompted you to suspend him, although I wouldn't be surprised if you'd recieved a deluge of emails denouncing him. Perhaps people have sent you excerpted offensive remarks. I'd suggest that you need the entire context to understand what's been going on, and that a quick look at af few posts would be insufficient. You can rest assured that you will recieve a lot of mail from some of the most serious and respected SI posters because Maurice is widely recognized as one of SI's best educated, imaginative, provocative, and humorous members. It's true that he is sometimes given to long and fanciful rhetorical flights replete with sarcasm and exageration, hardly the type of stuff that warrants suspension. I look forward to hearing from you. David M. Gottfried
