Good Evening All. I am angered to see that all of Mr. James Flynn's posts have been erased by the Webmaster. It is obvious that there are many small minded people here who inhabit Silicon Investor. Mr Flynn's posts were harmless and very amusing. I have already commented on the destruction of the original Boink thread which I now see as a much larger problem that could threaten the very existence of Silicon Investor itself. Who are these infantile jackasses who rush to complain everytime they read something they happen not to agree with? Why does the vocal minority, whether here on Silicon Investor, or in society at large, always get there way? The banishment of Mr Flynn is indeed a black day for Silicon Investor. I was just preparing to send my cheque to Kansas and I'm having serious second thoughts. This feelings thread along with the old Boink the way it used to be are most enjoyable to ponder after spending time on the Intel and Compaq threads. My criticism is in no way aimed at any one of you on this thread. Your posts are witty, intelligent and often absorbing. Good Day All R.P.

Holly, the part that bothers me the most about James Flynn's exile is the fact that he got booted not for attacking or threatening someone but solely for expressing himself in his own way. I read most of his posts and I can't recall him verbally abusing anyone. Sure he used some rough language now and then but you can go to almost any thread on SI and find the same language. So again the question, why him and not the others? The only person James Flynn ever put down was himself and that was done in a very funny way. Jim
