Matt booted me, bob didn't Matt booted me for posting that a certain "cheerleader" was hypocritical in bragging about selling in a pump and dump when she stated she was long and strong. He has allowed the touts to stay that have posted my real name, home phone number, home address, personal attacks, off topic posts... If matt suspends more touts than "bashers," it's because there are probably 100 to 1 touts to bashers. The touts are generally the ones violating the TOU by personally attacking the honest negative posters to get them to leave.

It is an endless source of amusement and wonder for me that two people, both of whom are smarter than your average bear (Yogi; not market) equally despise me for things they claim I am or do, but their claims are mutually exclusive. BoP's assertions and arguments (well, except for the implication that I wronged him at least 15 years ago on a BBS) aren't new to me at all. He's just the most intelligent and articulate person I can recall ever making those assertions. Most of the people who make those claims can't spell "DD" if you spot them the first and last letters. Mmmary, however, is even more unique. I'm quite certain she's the first person to ever accuse me of favoring touts. And it's fascinating because I really thought at one time that she had a lot of promise as a level-headed, articulate, truth-finding "basher". And really high-quality naysayers are in dreadfully short supply. What I favor (and would get me by far the largest number of page views -- I know this very well as I learned it at the feet of the masters: the Dryer brothers) is lots of give and take on both sides. Bulls and Bears digging in deep to find every findable good and bad thing about a company and, as a result, the spectators gaining the kind of insights that are impossible for them to get any other way.
