Post that on the 50% gains board that Dale Baker runs and see how long you last before you are banned. Politics wrecks boards. He has a very successful board with 1800 member's. One warning, after that you are gone forever.

""Ogi does not like politics because he believes it would cause an OT free for all.""

You are personalizing something improperly and inaccurately.

Ogi accepted a request to look after someone else's creation.

Ogi took that responsibility seriously and respectfully.

Had Ogi not taken the responsibility seriously he would compromise himself, that is the only aspect that was personal.

The board header prohibits politics because all here, including yourself, have witnessed its destructive action upon an investment board and thus the board's creator deemed it necessary to institute a ban on politics in order to protect the integrity of the board. As a participant here I believe it is my responsibility to follow the guidelines of the header.

You have chosen to introduce politics yet again, but all you wrote were speculations or historic commentary not relating to current events except as an excuse to express your personal political views and fears for the future. The reason I used the ban button was because it was my duty and because I know full well if I did not it leaves the door open for a never ending stream of those who want to climb up on their personal political pedestal, which you have so clearly illustrated is an undeniable fact.

I would not argue against most of what you say, I just find it arrogant and self serving of you to flaunt the prohibition of the header for your own self satisfaction and presumed self aggrandizement.

When and IF Laws, taxes, regulators, change we can debate those impacts, we don't have to imagine the Bogeyman.
