And what exactly is the point of all the name-calling and taunting?
I can't tell you the point, but I can show you the origin. On about May 22 Greg posted something to the effect of, wouldn't it be great if everyone clogged the phone lines of some certain brokerage that was selling the stock short. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that post (the then #255) was removed by SI, the reason was obvious. I don't know anyone who got a copy for their files other than SI, the post stayed on the thread for only about 15 hours. I chastised Greg for posting such a thing. He then posted a reply to me which was character assignation of the worst kind. At about that time Auric was perceived to be a short seller and Greg attacked him. So, the fight was on.
Like most schoolyard fights the observers begin to line up behind the participants to take sides. The same happened here, except Greg had no support. So, he went out and got some. By May 31 all sorts of vile, vulgar personalities began to appear: LIQPLUMER was the first. Then came Arcticlight, Batman and david travis. They all attacked in a most hateful manner and one by one eventually fell before the Terms of Use. For awhile I thought they were all the same person, Greg, but I now think it was a bunch of his cronies with $125 to burn.
