rrufff, For the record, I'm not opposed to hearing voices of hatred on these message boards. They have their right to free speech regardless of how obnoxious or distasteful I find their views. Provided, of course, that they are here legally. For those that are the SI community has the perfect right to take exception to their views and to assess them for what they are. What I resent is the sheer numbers of them who are here under the pretense of being 'typical' Silicon Investor members and what appears to be their nearly unhindered, inappropriate and unethical access to this website. They are not honest brokers of debate. They are nothing more than gate-crashers with an agenda.

No page of dog doug doggerel today, but i got an interesting idea for owners of Silicon Investor & Investorshub after reading you post. Most people read these posts like reading a novel, but i do it like reading a math book... very slow word by word and sometimes read the same words many times over and over not by re-reading the same post, but by reading for example your posts that say the same thing over and over with just a few words changed :o) Now rather than i Cut & Paste your thoughts i'll simply ask BobZ & Sheriff Matt a question. - Note that its not an Admin type decision, but more ownership and where they want Si & iHub to go (aka be). - ok, Knowing that they want these two investment web sites to be very on topic without too much extremes of hype or bashing, its clear that they have this very well in control and eventually in a few years Si & iHub will shine as best examples. but, While the non investment threads & boards have a place, and will always exist, and will always be treated more in a self-policing manner without too much Admin involvement, there are a few threads/boards, and a few members, that seem to cause trouble spots and sour posts far in excess to what would be expected to be allowed as "over the top." so, Might the owners decide down the road that, for example here on Si, that the thread ???? is too far beyond acceptable for what Si is to represent even on a non investment thread, and so in effect it violates the TOU, the thread itself having too much hate etc on it, and rather than address the membership doing the posting, it is decided that certain thread non investment topics of themselves carry an defacto TOU violation by being an incubator of hate. thusly, The ???? thread is VOIDed and NULLed and deleted from Si with the HEARie HEARie Lend me your Ears... or, a TOU violation for anyone creating a "TYPE" ??? thread. - I like it as a plan or way to keep the hate off Si & iHub. I'am sure something like this is already in effect on Si & iHub, but its not spelled out. For example, a porn thread is a no no. Oops, yes thats in the TOU. WAIT... also is no hate etc. mmmmmmmm Makes me wonder why the owners here allow the ????? thread where hate is present. Maybe BobZ & Sheriff Matt can recognize porn but not hate i'am sure is not true, unless one asks certain questions that i know how to ask, and then the answer is different. soooooooooooooooo Using a different viewing angle, rrufff's concerns towards Admin(Bob) do indeed have validity, but its asked pointed at Admin rather than pointed at Owners(Bob+Matt). d:oug
