If you ask me to speak to generalities, of course I would say that I am all for a kinder, more gentle internet and world.

Should the mentally ill be mocked and abused? Of course not. But I don't think that's what we are dealing with here. I think we're dealing with willful behavior which ignores the truth and attempts to squelch free expression of opposing ideas.

Freedom of expression and anarchy are not at all the same. What we have here at SI is a superb forum which tries to provide the former without falling into the hell-hole of the latter.

Disagreements will often arise in this type of forum and SI would be a less useful place to me if it was full of nothing but happy, cheerleading agreement. Investments are not a religion, they are business. It is not a sin to be a doubter.

Disagreement is healthy, but willful disregard for the truth is inexcusable.
