Was there good reason? or is he just trying to keep negative opinions off one of his boards that he is pumping a stock on? IMO, This SI poster has a LONG history of creating boards, pumping stocks and then banning anybody that shows up with a negative opinion. Frankly, I think this is wrong and should not be allowed by SI. No biggie if you want to start a board and ban pests that show up just to cause trouble, but that is not what he does. How many people have complained that he banned them, for no real reason at all, except that their opinion differed from his? ALOT!! IMO, This SI poster is using the message boards here on SI in an unethical and immoral manner, in order to to pump whatever stocks he is on this week, while keeping negative opinions away, so he can try to sucker people into believing whatever hype he is spewing om whichever stock it happens to be. How many people bought SPRL on HIS rec when it was .25 - .35, but may not have had they read a negative opinion on his board instead of non stop posts saying "this is going to $1, buy now before it is too late...lower prices will never be had again"? Again, if you look at the facts, look how many boards this poster has created and look how he operates them. He bans anybody and everybody that has a differing opinion then him, even if poster is being nice. IMO, The moderated/banning option SI has is a good thing, but not when abused like this by people like that. SI is perfect for a guy like that. He can start whatever board he wants, send pm's to people pumping stock and tell them to come over, while banning any negtaive opinion, by any poster, so people that show up only see the positive posts saying "BUY NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE". Since this poster is so obvious and habitual with his actions, I am very surprised SI allows him to do this. But, I guess we can all take comfort in looking at the stocks he has pumped over the past few years and we can see a HUGE % of his picks are gone, nowhere to be found, many had serious sec troubles and most would have been HUGE money losers had people bought and held when he said to. The guys history and actions speaks volumes, imo. Ragging on The Infamous diamond company now, but he sure was pumping it awhile back, saying he spoke to the cassavants and is SURE diamonds will be flowing. Back then, I didnt know it was him, but I do now. And yes, I still have all his PM's. And yes, he actually told me, in writing, that he has info from the ceo of a company he is pumping, that is not public and "I better buy now before it is too late". I wont mention this posters name or the company as dave made it clear no personal attacks...but I will say this....Those PM's are pretty incriminating for both him and the ceo and company in question. Oddly, others have contacted me and said they have similar PM's from the same poster. So, why did he ban you?
