Bob,

You are right. There is meanness rampant on SI. This guy is an example, Message 19068562

The market has been tough for a few years now. Decimalization killed the spread, making markets (MM) became less profitable. Retail investors are scared after being burned. Corporate scandals dominate the news. Investors have gone into hiding. While there are plenty of opportunities to make money, it’s harder to find the opportunities. It’s more important now to have a place to learn about or discuss investments then those times when everything went up regardless of quality.

The political threads and CFZ threads seem to breed a kind of mean poster that would rather spit in your face then shake your hand when you first meet.

I’m not sure what I would do about this situation but a few permanent bans for being a mean spirited persona wouldn’t seem out of line to me.

BTW, saying someone is an Arrogant Ass is ok, saying someone is an Arrogant asshole is over the line.
