Allan: Re; "The intolerance being exhibited seems way out of proportion to the conduct at issue" Over the last 10 years or so I have made a lot of money using Bob's advice as a guideline. Other posters here have contributed like wise. Has any one ever made or saved any money on Rill's end less criticism of Bob? All it does is waste time. Guys like me who don't post that often and don't have a lot of market wisdom to share, due to other restraints, at least don't waste a lot of every one else's time. Rill's posts are almost like going over to your neighbor's church and telling the parishioners how wrong they are. Can he show us the way? If not what is the sense of the whole exercise except to upset people. He may be a very nice person away from this forum but here he is a negative, nothing personal. Another point Allan. I don't subscribe to the view that anyone can say what ever he or she want based on mostly their own opinion and little fact when they make it a crusade. We should all try to be good neighbors to each other. Jim

Allan, I respect your opinion but we obviously disagree. For me, the intolerance has been building for some time. Folks who want to grind axes re Brinker have alternatives (Kirk's site and the Savant thread). This thread was set up for conviviality so that people would not have to use the ignore function. I read the Savant thread but do not post there. I occasionally read the suite101 Brinker thread but, again, do not post. See? I am not suggesting that you are serving up such an argument but, I can anticipate someone writing that shutting down the axe-grinding here limits diversity! B.S. Allowing this thread to become another place where axe-grinding occurs would simply make it just like the others. This place is different and should be kept that way. You, me, Rill, Kirk, etc. are more than bright enough to know the difference and post messages in the appropriate locations. Come on! Nobody is too dumb to have missed that Rill's purpose was to post bait for a fight. Nobody is too dumb to have missed that he chose this thread and not the other options for his purpose. Basta. Ciao, David Todtman
