Will the Real John Rizzo Please Stand Up? To: Blitz (3128 ) From: qtrinh Tuesday, Jun 23 1998 5:04PM ET Reply # of 3133 TO ALL REMAINING LONGS AND TO THOSE WHO ARE THINKING OF JOINING SI: Please read the email below from JOHN RIZZO, I think I will get on SI's blacklist, but it just makes me angry to see my money wasted on SI because they have IN MY OPINION the powers to censor anything and anyone they like w/out being fair about doing it. When I first joined SI I thought it was a great place, but somehow things are not the way it used to be....OR IS IT???? To All, I have just been informed via e-mail from Bob of SI admin. that I am banned from SI. I find extremely disturbing that I get BANNED from SI and the rest of the FBN gang continue their bashing. I will be e-mailing the powers that be at GO2NET, the owners of SI about the abuses of the FBN gang and more importantly the abuses of power and blatant favoritism of the SI administration itself. Getting banned from SI is a joke and I would normally not care but I believe there is much more here than meets the eye and a much bigger issue at large, I believe SI administration is in league with the FBN gang at the expense of the individual investor. Whether they are professional shorters or pranksters with too much time on their hands is irrelevant, the bottom line is they are hurting the individual investor with the blessing and the assistance of SI. I am asking for your assistance with this matter, I have called GO2NET the owner of SI and explained the situation to them. They suggested that I e-mail IR and voice my complaint. The IR e-mail goes to 6 or 7 different people including the GM of go2net as well as others in power. The person on the other end of the phone was very concerned at what I described and urged me to make this public. The e-mail address is investerrelations@go2net.com. E-mail Bob si_admin@techstocks.com and let him know what you think. Let them know about the abuses that are commonplace at SI and that we think it is reprehensible and that a once fine site is being turned into the personal playground of the FBN gang. This might sound trivial to some but it is very serious to me. SI is supposedly an unbiased forum and not a partnership among thieves. The most powerful and persuasive thing we can do is stand united. If we want this to change we have to do it ourselves because SI certainly cannot police itself let alone others. I still can't believe how out of hand this has become but it only hardens my resolve to do something about it. Please let me know your thoughts. Regards John I thought he was suspended? That's what the other emails said. How many people are we dealing with here? But hey! Don't we all feel his request is perfectly reasonable? WHY should anyone be allowed to ask questions about a stock or a company, let alone criticize same? Those "bashers" have it ALL WRONG: SI threads are not intended for discussion, no no no, but for hyping and cheerleading. And REMEMBER: if you lose money in the market, it's ALWAYS somebody else's fault.
