Soapbox: It appears to me there was good discussion here before some sniping started. Disagreements are expected and I've have my share of pissing contests too. But I've just seen this before. Where a couple of small digs would change the tone of a thread and stop what was good exchange.
Ok I know the thought comes to mind 'if there that thin skinned they shouldn't be in the game', but much of that has to do with what is going on outside the game, so to speak.
Trading stock/money is not a low pressure job/pursuit and when one posts opinion one is exposing him/her self to public scrutiny too. By posting you join a group for the purpose of exchange, not to show others how smart you are but to expand thinking.
Of the half dozen active posters there's probably two dozen that lurk. So posting takes a bit of balls. And you don't need someone trying to give 'em a kick.
I hope I'm way off base here; soapbox collapsed.
