I'm not sure I understand Macker's obsession with homosexuality. Loved the way he materialized on the MTEI thread yesterday to "answer questions" and then avoided answering even one. Wireless Wonk (I believe in Post #3536 on that thread) did some wonderful cut and paste of Macker hype, in which he listed about a halfdozen different guesses on the book value of the stock, presented as "DD" of course. Then Macker refused to answer questions based on the fact that WW suggested Mr. M might be a "neophyte." This appeared to bring tears to poor Macker. Interesting exchange....

Didn't you just love this pathetic part of the post: one person cut and pasted a pm to me that one of them sent that said "macker is not your average poster, we need to be careful because he could hurt our attacks and diminish the fear we have been able to achieve over the last couple weeks, we wont fool with him long". i have a friend who has kinda earned their trust and he reports to me. A familiar ploy--try to arouse suspicion by claiming there's a "spy." The only people who believe that tripe are the Rocketeers themselves.

If you're going to start pulling them from the Raging Bullies, there will be materials for years! Here's an excerpt from a former nominee: To the Webmaster Please change my alias from Merlin to Dixie or Dixie77 Additionally, you might like to know that you are the beneficiary of a phenomina taking place over at SI. It appears that SI "supports" a certain group of people, FBNA, that only bash various threads and their stocks. Well beyond what could be called DD. Further, the stocks all go down in value almost immediately as these people show up on the thread. SI regularly suspends posters who get agressive in combatting them but curiously never suspends the members of this group. [I love this next paragraph. BTW, could someone more familiar with libel laws evaluate it?] Rumors have begun that The SI itself may be involved in a Canadian brokerage US BB stock shorting scheme. Only rumors but looks more and more like the real thing. [Next, taking credit for increase in membership at RB.] Because of this and a post I placed a few weeks ago as Merlin on your PNLK thread, a steady and substantial sentiment has been building to do something "other" than SI. The migration from SI has begun in earnest this last few days. You don't owe me nuttin as we would say in the Bronx, just the fact that we can eliminate certain posters from view is a big plus. We will, all of us newbies, conduct raiding parties at random intervals over at SI to see if we can bring you more business. Get ready. [Now for the piŠce de r‚sistance.] However, I would suggest one slight improvement. If the majority of a given thread would like to curtail even the "viewing" by certain individuals it would be nice if various threads could be assigned a password, or whatever, to prevent any intrusion by folks that would otherwise harass the thread or by MM's that would like a birdseye on what's taking place with certain stocks. [So who's going to be the keeper of the password?]
