You make a very fine point. SI and the freedoms we have here are worth fighting for.
<<<On Silicon Investor (SI) we are able to cast aside all those things which support unnecessary prejudices and address the real issues which are most important to us as investors. I've posted back and forth with others and later got email from them and found to my surprise I'd been chatting with to name a few...Professor's, Investment columnist's, CEO's, NASA Scientist, Engineers and...yes a stock analyst, along with college kids, office product store sale persons and you name them. Some were providing information to help me understand something or informing me to a misconception I had, some were just saying something I'd posted was funny or was enjoyable, others were asking about my opinion or saying thanks. Now I'm a home builder on a very small level ( 1 or 2 custom homes a year) and would never meet up with these folks and talk about their investments anywhere else, not the Lion's club, the ballpark, the bar or the neighborhood block party.
SI is the place we can do this without class ideals or whatever intruding...thus we have the free exchange of information, opinion and thought. This is something to cherish and fight to keep! Because it is free speech at it's freest! The ability to remain anonymous IS and HAS to remain an ingredient to the free speech recipe! Everyone has the ability to ignore or dispute anything an anonymous person posts.>>> |
