OK,
an explanation seems due. i never asked for anyone to be
"expelled." i asked webmistress to "warn" him. and this was
after i had tried many times here (in posts *to* VLAD) to
convey that it's wrong for anyone to try to drive people off
this thread because they're bearish on VVUS.
VLAD has repeatedly told a number of people to go over to
the bear thread, and, every time i've seen it, i've
responded against, saying it is wrong to try to drive
people away.
last week i was "slumming" over on the bear thread and it
seemed that Dale and Mike were kind of lonely over there,
with most of their posts about things they'd seen while
lurking over here. so i asked them to come back, and
promised to defend them if they were attacked.
well, it only took a few hours before VLAD told Dale to leave,
and, after a few back-and-forths and howdys, with Dale
keeping a civil tone, VLAD made that vulgar taunt to him
about a place where the moon doesn't go.
this was too much! i don't care if someone seems paranoid,
and thinks that Mike and Dale over there talking to each
other about shorting VVUS can cause anyone to lose money
but themselves--i can just read it and ignore it as nonsense.
but this business of driving people away just had to stop,
and i had promised Dale that i would do something. so i did.
yes, i agree that any time a brawl occurs, there is a feeling
of nastiness that lingers.
but i've said it before, and i'll say it again. if this forum
is about VVUS, there needs to be tolerance of other's views.
it is just plain wrong to tell people who express bearish
views to "go away."
