Herb, you are spouting Fascist nonsense. This stuff really did go out of style with Hitler. In your world of policing SI, I can see a little cadre of 10 Brown Shirted posters running as a pack among their favorite stocks, stocks they are likely cheerleading, and stifling any responsible inquiry because it raises unfavorable information. If you want a world like that, then go to Raging Bull. (I have to love that name, nothing like truth in advertising.) Cool your jets on this one before you embarrass yourself even more. Careful you don't raise your own quorum.

In the strictest sense of the word, Hitler's Nazi party was socialist, though I'd agree with you that all totalitarian regimes are essentially conservative. But of course the National Socialists WERE in the majority, yet were terrified of dissent. Sound familiar? The type of censorship I am talking about would be run by the people. You really think that's better? Mob rule? The loudest voices have the most say? And how's this for "lies and misrepresentations"? What I object to is the Shells that are repeating outright lies and misrepresentations against the Companies that they have short positions in ." Find an "outright lie" I've posted here. And I'm sorry, I don't have, and haven't had, a short position in any BB stock. It really is very hard to do. You apparently choose not to believe this, but that doesn't make it true. Funny, you know. A great many of the people on the MTEI thread are now wishing they'd listened to those who so annoyingly asked questions about, and offered critism of, "their company".

Re:>>> The Fools Board has implemented a feature where you can block out any poster that is wasting your time . IMO this would help here on S. I. <<< ==================================================================== Snip : Better Design - These new boards are faster than ever. You'll notice that we put our ad banner on the right-hand side of the page. This moves the message higher up and is more friendly to smaller displays. We've also changed it so that the banner appears faster than ever, making the boards quicker for you. Penalty Box (aka Kill Files) - The Penalty Box is a place to send all of those people whose posts you never want to read again. Reading a message folder and think someone is wasting your time? Click that frown and you won't see their posts again. Favorite Fools - Favorite Fools are nothing new, but we've made it easier than ever to add them. Love someone's posts and want to read everything they write? Click the happy face next to their name and they'll automatically be added to your Favorite Fools. ==================================================================== I vote yes , Herb
