<<Many people claim that they were thrown off Brinker's site because they disagreed with him>> Since I don't have first hand knowledge of this I'll take it with a grain of salt. I have seen the people who claim they were thrown off Brinkers board post here and my suspicion is that they were NOT thrown off because they "disagreed" with him. His record is fair game, some of these attacks are not. There are people who post on these boards that seem to have nothing better to do with their lives than to sit behind their keyboards and anonymously fire off attacks with no proof or accountability for their accusations. Some fool a week or so ago even accused Brinker of front running stocks. "I bet he did this, I bet he pumped that" give me a break. <<They claim that the Brinker crowd adds salt to the wound by publicly stating that people are only thrown off if they violate certain written rules and, except in extreme cases, are warned first>> They have usage rules at the site and it specifically says they reserve the right to remove posts. Sounds fair to me, oh & BTW if I had a site and someone was making personal attacks I would throw them off as well. <<In addition, some people that the Brinker crowd actually goes in and changes peoples posts! Also, some claim that posts are made up and posted, using the alias of people thrown off!>> Do you actually believe that?...if it's true it's inexcusable but my personal opinion is that it's not.
