Re: Brian:

I've been posting on the AMAT thread (a lot more in the past) for years. Brian has a long, long history of driving everyone off the thread whose opinion he disagreas with. He posts 20 times a day, and he is consistently nasty to anyone who posts anything that isn't ultrabullish.

I am seriously thinking about starting a moderated thread, where a diversity of opinion would be tolerated, and some minimum level of civility will be enforced.

I would welcome everyone to such a thread. My tentative rules would be:

1. when the news is all terrible, and the stock is going down month after month, bullish opinions will be encouraged, because they will help us figure out when the upturn will happen
2. when the news is all wonderful, and the stock is going up month after month, bearish opinions will be encouraged, because they will help us figure out when the stock will peak.
3. personal attacks and flames will not be tolerated.
4. posters are expected to be able to back up their opinions with logic, and back up their facts by posting sources, if asked to. If you can't do that, don't post it.

I'd like to know whether anyone else thinks there is a need for a moderated AMAT thread, and what they think of my suggested rules.
