<<<The whole idea of referring to those who disagree as "clowns" is likely an important
piece of this problem. Someone disagrees with me, therefore they're a "clown", "idiot",
"fool", "Bozo", "moron" or whatever. Such a label makes it easy to dismiss them and
their statements. And elevates me by knocking them down.>>>>

this is simply not the case, the only individuals that have been banned are those that have become annoying, are compeltely ignorant AND are generally jerks. There are MANY who post here who are rabid bulls. Mythman himself disagrees with the bear case, as do many others that are not banned. Venkie is a Dellhead, which in my opinion are some of the biggest clowns on the planet for worshipping Mickey and that bloated austin co, but yet i have not banned him cause he's a nice guy.

if you will think back, i think you will notice a pattern of trouble with this thread beginning when an outsider decides to create havoc. just a week ago it was LG starting a fake clown thread and harrassing mythman and i. This time it was da cheif who began posting on this thread. when he became posting compelte rants and insulting thread goers, he was banned, he then proceeded to post over 100 posts on the clown thread that were general childish insults....
