Telling people who I am not, just as telling people who I am, is the worst kind of violation of privacy on any telecom service. I'm just someone who cares about good discussions about stocks and am disappointed that there aren't more places that can happen, where people aren't trashed in a personal way, and where that is stopped, not fanned, by the admin.
SI was at one time a safe protected place for high level discussions. That requires a consistency, calmness, and respect for others, in both example and enforcement from the top.
When the admin of the place himself breaks the TOU and starts a brawl, people participate in the service for the brawl not for the rationality. This can't be a stock discussion board under these conditions.
These are not points I've made before, Bob.
Doug: Do I really sound like someone whom you know? Not in the least. I speak English, engage in reasonable dialogs, even after unreasonable provocation. And, I don't know you. |
