UnBelievable: Frankly, I find your post UnBelievable. Allow me to set the record straight... The CLOWN FREE ZONE Thread was created as a moderated thread ALMOST TWO WEEKS before the MDD thread had the moderated feature added…A FACT! So the experiment began on that thread, right? In addition, prior to this thread going moderated, certain “valued SI members” that hang on the CLOWN FREE ZONE thread created several COPY CAT threads of MDD each with the moderated feature well before this thread went moderated. Guess who was banned from posting on those COPY CAT threads? You got it yours truly. These "valued members of SI" would have you believe they created the CLOWN FREE ZONE thread in response to my decision to add the moderated feature to MDD. The dates reveal the facts. This thread was moderated on 5/17/00, the CLOWN FEE ZONE thread was created as a moderated thread on 5/5/00. Certain "valued members of SI" have made it an on going practice to review the SI message boards and pick out various bullish posts by members of SI and subject those post to ridicule and insult, most often behind the backs of the authors. On a regular basis on the CLOWN FREE ZONE thread (and before on the threads that group patronized), posts are regularly made that contain ridicule, insults, vulgarity, profanity and objectionable material (often Terms of Use violations) directed at other SI members. Of course, this behavior is supposedly justified by putting a "grin" at the end of the posts and seems to be condoned and enabled by SI Admin. Now I know some of the regulars on this thread have chosen to hang on that thread, for the life of me I don't understand the attraction! Who you choose to associate with says a lot about who you are. Certain primary posters on that thread have made it a practice to regularly insult and ridicule me. However, the insults and ridicule have often been directed at the regulars of this thread and various other members of SI. After I decided to add the moderated feature to MDD included in the original exclusion list where key regulars from the then primary stomping grounds for these "valued members of SI"...the ALL CLOWNS MUST BE DESTOYED thread. These "valued members of SI" have not stopped whining about the exclusions to date. I swear the squealing coming from that thread reminded me of a pig farm. However, these "valued members of SI" did not just whine, they increased their on going campaign of ridiculing and insulting me. This harassment campaign continues to this day. For some reason SI Admin has decided that the Terms of Use do not apply to these "valued members of SI". However, the insults were not just directed at yours truly. In the first post, Luc is referring to me, in the second he is referring to the regular contributors to this thread. (Of course, a "grin" at the end of any posts makes all manner of insults, ridicule, vulgarities and profanity...OK, right?) Message 14076197 Message 12366567 These are just tame examples. I could throw up enough links like this to keep you reading for hours, but I am not going to waste my time linking them. Instead, I will just let you take a look at the body of work these guys have contributed to SI...(Be sure and take the time to read past the market and investment direction by the few worthwhile posters on that thread. (I am not talking about them.) If you spend anytime at all looking over the "supplement" threads you can easily spot the "valued members of SI" I am referring too. You know those insulting, ridiculing happy go luck kind of guys and gals... First main thread (where it all began) so to speak: Subject 17047 Next stop: (Be sure and read the thread header.) Subject 32146 And let us not miss the supplement threads: (One of these threads has almost five hundred posts with links to posts by SI members that were bullish. The links to these posts were used in an effort to ridicule the poster. These threads must make SI Management very proud.) Subject 32651 Subject 33000 Subject 33205 Subject 33936 Of course the latest CLOWN FREE moderated thread: (Moderated Threads are OK, as long as these thugs get to do the excluding.) Subject 34445 And let us not overlook this compassionate thread so folks can beg to get back on the CLOWN FREE THREAD: Subject 36371 Due to the on going harassment campaign directed at me ignored for the most part by SI Admin coupled with the SI Admin decision to allow COPY CAT threads I decided a couple of weeks ago to no longer post my work on SI. That decision stands... If you want to find an alternate forum to replace MDA/MDD, I would suggest the Stock Attack thread. Subject 14043 The host of Stock Attack is Chris. He is a gentleman as are the majority of folks that frequent that thread. The quality of analysis is "overall" far superior to anything you will find on the CLOWN FREE ZONE thread. Of course there are a few valuable contributors to the CFZ thread. Why they choose to associate with the primaries on that thread is beyond my comprehension. I wish you all well and good trading... Regards, LG PS: I have been on suspension for defending myself from these "valued members of SI". Each of my posts have been clean and well with in the SI Terms of Use as is the one above. The interpretation by SI Admin of the Terms of Use has become so corrupted it has denigrated the rules to just a tool to justify the actions SI Admin decides to take.
