BTW, I have only kicked a few people off my site and it was not for being pro brinker, it was for breaking rules. One was very nasty to others and he would repeat lies to cause trouble. We got word from Korn Subscribers that were HUGE fans of Brinker that they didn't like our site because this guy was too mean to everyone. He was warned and booted. Another was making attacks against members in a personal nature and would not stop. He was removed. One guy threatened to sue us for posting links to sites that were critical of the Church of Scientology. He said he'd sue me personally if I didn't remove the links. I removed him as I don't like threats. Another posted pure drivel just to be annoying. He kept trying to push the limits to get me to delete him. He finally said he was leaving and would not come back. He then attacked me personally and lied about me personally on other web sites so when he returned, we deleted his membership. The last was a long time member who set up a competing site. We didn't mind but he kept posting Advertising for Bob Brinker in our non Brinker threads. He was warned many times to not advertise or discuss Brinker in non Brinker threads. He kept it up so we banned him. Several have tried to get back with new screen names and we delete them. If we deleted anyone not on that list by accident, they can appeal but they need a valid email address to get a membership. So far, nobody we've kicked off that we thought was one of the above had a valid email address but we will take it up on appeals if we made a mistake. So... I think I am so sick of Brinker because of all the shills who follow him and lie about this or that and waste my time. I really don't think he is that bad of an investment advisor, I just don't think he is honest in reporting his true record. Kirk
