Brian, tons of people on this thread have dissenting opinions. Paul Engel happens to be one of the few who post dissenting opinions for the sake of insulting people. I cannot fathom why this is misunderstood by so many people. Paul is a very abusive person, and his particular brand of dissention only serves to start flame wars. > Oh and BTW, I surely must have said something above that > warrants a suspension from the thread since I am not in > full agreement with the majority here. The majority here prefer messages without insults. There is nothing in your above message that warrants a suspension. It is frustrating, though, that you prefer to see conspiracies and agendas where there are none. > An utterly pathetic place to come for discussion. I'm ... really trying to be civil here. If I was Paul Engel or Scumbria/Bilow on the RMBS thread, I'd say something like "yeah, utterly pathetic when you stupid losers post your drivel here". But in reality I know that you are likely an intelligent person, and that you really don't mean to demean others. So I implore you to at least give consideration to the possibility that (A) there are lots of dissenters here that will not be suspended because they are not abusive people, and (B) this is a rather good place to come for discussion, as long as you decide to come in without insulting people. > Brian.....showing himself to the door There is no door here. You are trapped. Mua ha ha ha! <g> -JC

Brian, Brian.....showing himself to the door Hey, why don't you take Yousef with you!!! This is, by definition, the AMD moderated thread. If you had followed the original AMD and Cyrix threads, you would know of the indefensible abuse and FUD that was leveled on those that were trying to have a civil discussion by the likes of Paul and others. I must admit that Paul has a lot to offer, but I personally do not feel that it is worth reading the continued insults and sarcasm. Yousef is less abusive, but only offers FUD. If you want to post unmoderated criticism and FUD, there are plenty of other unmoderated threads where you can post until you are blue in the face, and those that want to tolerate it can read away. For one, I think Mani has shown a lot of restraint, and I congratulate him on a job well done. Pravin.
