--Mike,
<< So, everyone who agrees with Curbstone and Huey on this issue, please cast your vote publicly. >>
I'm going to cast my vote publicly even though I don't agree with my respected threadmates Curbstone and Huey on this issue.
I personally am totally supportive of Paul's post.
It was appropriate.
It was timely.
It was necessary.
It did not mince words.
It was strong enough that it aired an issue that needed aired.
It has provoked some reasoned discussion as a result.
It goes well beyond the particular individual that you had to remove the twit filter on.
One of the great strengths of this board has been the civility regular posters generally display to each other.
However, as a result of being overly tolerant of individuals with an agenda different than the boards stated purpose, and a less than civil manner of presenting themselves, I personally think the board has suffered.
I am not opposed to discussions of valuation or relative valuation, and I think that we have had many fine contributions from knowledgeable individuals to supplement discussions of the concepts of Moore, Johnson, and Kippola as it relates to corporations we evaluate. They should continue.
<< In the event that you vote strongly and openly enough by defending Shannon and criticizing Paul, and in the event Frank doesn't want to create a wholly competing moderated thread, I just might create it myself. >>
I have mixed emotions about moderated threads, and I am generally opposed to splintering a thread.
For that reason, I opposed taking this board moderated when Frank had the opportunity to do that.
That was then.
This is now.
Should you care to moderate a competing thread with a mission the same as this one, I would be delighted to join you and abandon this one, ... even if you won't buy a mobile phone. <g>
Should you elect to stay the course, so will I, and use "Ignore", when and if appropriate.
Best,
- Eric - |
