I VOTE NO.

While I agree completely with others on the rights of the First Amendment and would fight to the death to defend it, this controversy is about something else, specifically, lack of respect and civility. I welcome views of all kind, the more the better as it allows a larger picture to take place, but when opinions are presented without reasoning it holds no value for me. And furthermore, when posts resemble scare tactics more than anything else, it does a disservice to the hardworking members of this community which we call HOME. Rande's thread is a hallmark in cyberspace for it's knowledge, diversity, generosity and courtesy, attributes which we all contribute toward.

Since I have participated on this thread for more than a year, I have not witnessed a post like this. It made me very angry:

Get the hell out of fuel cell issues. We're shorting them.

Not only does it imply an ulterior motive and association, it gives no basis of fact or intelligent speculation from which someone could make a rational decision. It only adds FUD, of which we already have enough. Furthermore, I resent that this poster has caused such a disruption that I have had to wade through more than 100 posts on this subject. IT'S A WASTE OF MY TIME. Let's end this nonsense and get back to business. There is much to be done.
