<So if you believe that I'm a "peon" hiding behind a "fake alias", then why are you so angry and upset? How on Earth can a fake-aliased peon possibly manipulate any stock?> I am a person of integrity and expect people who use Silicon Investor and other public message boards to have integrity as well. You have demonstrated that you have no integrity and you are abusing your privileges on this service. Here's a quick story: In 1996, a person posting on SI under the alias "Steven Sage" created a thread called "Steven Sage's Short Term Trades". For a few months, the thread was a good place to share short term trading ideas and it eventually had quite a large following. At some point, "Steven Sage" went off the deep end and began posting fictitious trades in the tens of thousands of shares, claiming that he came into some money from a relative. Several regulars on the thread, myself included, became concerned that people could have been misled into making trades based on "Steven Sage's" lies. We determined by reviewing time and sales that he was blatantly lying about his trades. We wrote to Jill and the alias "Steven Sage", the thread that he created, and all messages posted by "Steven Sage" were removed from this service. BTW, after "Sage" was booted from SI, several members asked me to create the thread "Z Best Place to Talk Stocks". This thread has been one of the more popular threads on SI over the years and has only survived because we don't tolerate the kind of crap and dishonesty that you purport here. Threads such as this one that are based on lies and deceit never last over the long term because eventually somebody gets fed up with it and complains. That time has come for you. The moral of the story is that I do not tolerate negative or positive hype, deceit, intentionally misrepresenting facts, and what I believe to be illegal activities on this service. This is especially true if your improprieties revolve around a stock in which I am invested. IMO, your conduct on this service is a violation of the TOS and should be stopped.
