Are terms like "Athwiper" specifically banned from this thread? Ummm, let me see... How exactly could such a term contribute to an investment decision? Milan

Tim, If Paul had good strong content he would not need to use the epithets, his logic would speak for itself. This is not the case, so he resorts to bully boy tactics and relies on mannerly people to back off and give default credence. We had kids like that in grade school, I hardly expected them to be here, I hardly expected him to try to espouse "freedom of speech" and than stand back and take pokes at all of use when he was unable to win by better means. I hardly expected the moderator to be so enormously tolerant of him and yet intolerant of his critics. getting rid of Paul will enrich the thread. It was the hope of getting away from him by moderation that made it a success....until he came to make up 30% of the posts on some days with his usual insults. If Mani has another vote he should make sure it is all regulars and not a bunch of ringers brought on from other(Intel) threads, which allowed him to stay on one or more occasions. It is easy to check and see if a persoin is a regular by use of the name to access where he has posted in the past weeks. Bill

re:<Are terms like Athwiper specifically banned from this thread> No, but I made a suggestion a while back that derogatory names, whether for groups of people or things, be limited to something like 10 per day. That would apply to terms like Athwiper, Peewee4, AMDroid, etc. Suspension would not require a vote under such circumstances and would be for a short period of time, maybe one week to start and a max of two weeks.
