Couldn't disagree with you more!! It takes two to tango, my friend. Maybe you should consider on trying to get your money back from SI. Who are you or for that matter anyone here, to determine what is acceptable on this message board. People have the right to express their feelings. Sometimes it gets heated, as it does on this thread. If you intend on pursuing the "I'll report you to SI" I would suggest you also report the idiots that respond with personal attacks of their own on the people you describe. This is why I limit myself to the number of posts on this thread!! One person jumps on the thread and says the stock is a dog, and the rest of the people gang up on him/her because they are "long" the stock!! One group is short and intends to push the stock down the other, long and intends on pushing the stock up! If you can't take two points of view, then maybe all of you should consider going to the Raging Bull threads. Name calling results in people not liking an opinion. They tend to get in this back and forth debate about how they are right!! That debate if severe enough gets into name-calling, why? Because nobody on this GD thread will just accept the other persons opinion, and leave it at that!! In the end, if you can't express your view, and then dismiss or accept the other point of view (after you analyze it) then nobody wants you on SI, period! I don't see anyone admonishing the individual who claims a $20+ number for the TSE 200 % 300 listing...do you?? Thats because everyone, with the exception of a few, are bulls on this thread, so they don't attack his "stupidity"! Just have one person say this thing is heading south to $9.00 and watch the bashing he/she takes, and attacks "his stupidity"!! No wonder it ends up in name calling!! In the end...nobody will just accept the "other side" and leave it alone....Everyone has to have their "Last say" no matter how intellectually stupid it is!! Therefore, which one that wishes to be more "intellectually stupid" continues the debate eventually leading to name calling. I have seen many others on this thread (other than the one you pointed out, "some- your friendlies") contributing to the name calling routine! Make sure, if you intend on reporting anyone, you report them all!! I fell into one of these traps about a year ago...and the thread digressed to literal oblivion....never again! I for one still believe in freedom of speech...no matter how stupid or adolescent it gets! the Chief

BRK, when I first read your post I thought - 'it's a belated April first joke he's trying on me' - but after reading it again and taking a few minutes to consider your post I came to the realization "HE'S SERIOUS!" Well, as you can see it looks like the votes are in and you're outvoted. I suggest you stay on the topic - namely BII - and post anything you like that's relevant to this subject. PS: if you want to act as policeman and be on the look out for personal attacks you'll have no difficulty finding a number and they don't have my name associated with them. Haven't you been following this thread on a regular basis or do you just "drop in" and make judgements based on a few posts? >>I did NOT join the board to have to sit here and read through your growing number of personal attacks and insults on other members
