Do you think that's the case? I didn't know that, if it's so, but I do feel pretty sure (I have no stats, of course) (But I was banned from the RWE thread today, lol!) that the members of the RW probably try to get others kicked off SI more often than the average, and the squeaky wheel etc.

hmmm i would have to tae a survey to see how the suspensions are dispensed, i have a feeling that if you are a member of the RW, somehow you get divine exclusions or oversights when it comes to the TOFU's I'd be curious to see the results of such a survey. I'm sure that just about any desired outcome could be "proven" with it. For example, I bet it'd be easy to "prove" I've got it in for right-handed male investors with computers and web browsers. Although the simplest explanation would be that I do my job and that involves warning or suspending people when I become aware of their violations of the Terms of Use. For some, it's easier to believe that I read every post anyone ever writes and keep a list here of party affiliations, race, ancestry, political leanings, philosophical viewpoints, religion, and positions (short and long) in every stock. Not that everyone shares my opinion of the adjective "simplest" having any significance when trying to determine which is the most likely correct explanation of something when multiple possible explanations exist. <g>
