This is all total BS.
Pardon me for coming out again in pubic to say so.
Total BS.
When SI started, there were no bans. None.
SI operated just fine without them. In fact, Brad and Jeff sold SI for over $30 million in stock, before bans came into being. Search SI, you'll see it's a fact.
No bans, very few deletions. Deletions back then were severely disputed, and deleted posters often won: they got to repost what had been erroneously deleted. Count me among the winners during those battles, back then. Check the History of Silicon Investor thread.
Banning and deleting posts - of any kind - on an investment discussion forum is totally insane. I have always said this, and it is the absolutely main reason I now refuse to participate here.
Censorship has always been and always will be The Death of uninhibited interactions, which SI needs like a flower needs water: true, investor conversation, without interferences of any kind! That is why SI thrived, before its present corruption.
Which is why SI is now dying a death of attrition: double zero new members.
And the reason I abandoned it: free discourse must flourish, censorship must die!
Case closed, over and out again, you all dozen or so people still arguing about this dead as a doornail SI sort it out... |
