SI didn't have political threads and all-politics posters much at all before 9/11; the political discussions that started then brought out (and drew in) a whole new group obsessed with attacking their "enemies" whenever possible, and violating the SI TOU on personal attacks and language literally daily.

Without bans now, much of SI would literally be unusable and unreadable. Just look at the most active unmoderated threads and see what they have to do with investing.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

The one hot unmoderated investing thread is all Canada all the time. The US political junkies just don't care about anyone posting there:

Without a firewall, the few remaining quality investing threads will go the same route as the open political threads in a flash. I checked out several other "investing" message board sites and their threads were totally polluted with this garbage.

The world ain't what it used to be by a long shot.
