Isn't it amazing that the neys and Shorts can throw insults at shareholders while we are instructed to take our opinions to PM !
I saw that somebody posted another phoney web-site on the PRWT thread, then MM Meyerson started buying up the cheap shaken shares! to see these shorts pestering us day by day just enforces the fact that they are very short.

WHY NO SANCTIONS?
**********************************************
In the classroom, the teacher will not allow a dispruptive student to monopolize her/his class. There is a classroom full of students that will suffer if the disruptive student is permitted to deter the teacher from educating her students.
The student may be asked to stand in the corner, go to the principal's office or recieve a detention. The teacher will not sanction the disruption of her classroom. The students are there for an education and the disruptive students behavoir jeopardizes that. The behavoir won't be tolerated.
On S.I. small investors meet on message boards to discuss the merits of particular investments. When one of those investments is targeted by particular groups manipulating stocks, the purpose of S.I. becomes vague. Is the purpose of each thread to discuss the merit of an investment? If so, why are the malicious and calculated strategies of stock manipulators permitted to disrupt and exploit the sanctity of that particular thread? Why are the 'disruptive' posters not made to 'stand in the corner' or go to the 'principal's office'? Instead, in a state of anarchy, investors and shareholders do battle with those only on the thread to manipulate the stock price. In doing so, they become the ones recieving punitive actions from S.I. administration! Investors and shareholders who are watching and witnessing their investment being manipulated now also must contend with punitive actions from S.I.. Why is the 'teacher' allowing the 'disruptive students' to run the class?
The pattern repeats itself, from thread to thread, yet the only entity that appears oblivious is S.I. Administration. Shareholders are told to mention certain topics via PM. Shareholders, CEO's, Management, shareholders are slandered and silenced when they counter those doing the slandering. Posts are deleted. Suspensions are handed-out, yet...the source of the problem, the stock manipulators are allowed to continue the "disruption of the class", the class is now anarchy, the merits of the investment can no longer be discussed and combatting the manipulators of the stock and the disrupters of the thread only yeilds punitive actions against those defending their investments.
Until the 'disruptive students' are made to stand in the corner so the class can be conducted without disruptions, shareholders and small investors will continue to be victimized by these stock manipulators and S.I. that sanctions their actions.
