Moot/Carl:
Agreement does not a cult make, imo.

The argument is over the top with regards to SH - the Pro-KRY
has a precondition that dissent will be tolerated if backed by facts
and confirmation. I have yet to see evidence that negative posting
with appropriate evidence (whether it be argument or fact) has been cause for
exclusion.

The KRY forum has retained it's status as a primary
playground for unsubstantiation and outright falsehoods that may
or may not have shaken the investor tree. Those whose credibility
has been squandered by name calling or the promulgation of those falsehoods have been summarily rejected or ignored and their number is few.

I would interject that I have read every post on both forums since their inception.

As for margin calls - no one has ever advocated on either SH forum that KRY be traded with a margin account; in fact quite the contrary. Margin buying in a speculative stock is and remains a matter of personal responsibility for which no internet forum could ever be held accountable.

The 'observation' of the SH forums-as-cults
or having a 'proto-nazi' policy reveals a perception rather than
a reality. The outright promotions and fanatical dogma cum-manipulation can be attributed to a handful of complicit posters who can easily be identified and number about 10 +- with variants. If you feel that they have facistic dominance and control
over the price and perception of KRY through the forums then I respectfully submit that you are representing those 10 or so as gross over achievers. Without analysis, your claim that the SH forums are corrupted by fanaticism diminishes your past arguments on SI and diminishes the intelligence of observant shareholders.

The real prison here is presupposition.

(does your claim that you recently dropped the stock from what you
described as a "...sorry portfolio..." still hold true?)

am
