Am I the only person who would like to see both positive and negative
opinions on CCSI, but has become tired of the flaming?

Here's what I'm hoping for:

1) Arguments for and against the company based on facts
(preferably ones that can be independently verified) and logic.

2) An avoidance of ad hominem arguments. I'm very weary, for example,
of "you're a short seller" as an argument for dismissing criticisms
of the company. The merits of a criticism are valid or not valid
regardless of the motivation of the poster, and I'd like to see responses that respond to criticism with ... yes, facts and logic.

3) An avoidance of trivial "zingers". If you're a critic of the
company, how about some facts and logic to support that position
rather than one-liners about the CEO or mangled variations on other
posters' names?

Of course, feel free to continue posting insults and flames on the other
thread. I don't want anyone to feel repressed.

I'll try to "prime the pump" for a week or so by copying what I consider
to be useful messages (and useful parts of messages) from the other thread. I figure by the end of a week it will be obvious if there's a constituency for a non-flaming discussion. (If you support me, but don't want to stick your head up too far above your foxhole, you can private message encouragement to me.)

And, of course, if you want to flame me, be my guest. Please do it on the other thread, though, ok? I'll be glad to to respond in kind over there.
