Gary,
Are you saying that you disagree 100% with everything I said in my post, or just the part you quoted??
Goes against every legal and common sense concept in our society.
Do we live in the same country??? Same planet??
I am from Venus. Where you from???
As for the attorney thought. I am thinking that before I even call an attorney, I would have to have been charged with something. I don't think I would have the need to seek the advice of an attorney on matters that have yet to occur or been charged with.
This does bring to mind and interesting comparison goes something like this...
<future suspect> Hello, Attorney Jones, I was thinking if the following senerio happened, how would you handle my case?? I know it seems pretty far fetched, but I would like to know in advance exactly how your going to handle it.
<attorney> Well Mrs Neenish, in that senerio if you do this, I would act as following. On the other hand, I might just have to approach it from this angle depending on how many other variables are added into the case. But thanks for the allowing me to guess on how I would handle this matter long before it becomes a REAL issue. And by the way...Mrs Neenish, please wait to call me in the future after charges have been filed against you, cause contray to what you think based on the number of these "what if" cases you have presented before me........I really do have OTHER WORK TO ATTEND TO!!!
Of course if you apply that scene to Ihub, the posters are the future suspect and Bob would be the attorney.
I do realize that in your post and in mine previously we were using Bob as the "suspect" When I said that I thought the old guard should wait til the suspect does something before pulling out the weapons." My intended use of the word "suspect" relating to Bob was that some posters are suspicious of every comment he makes. Every attempt he makes at looking at both side of make believe "what if" senerio's he becomes more suspect, by the very people that set him up to begin with. For that reason I suggested that people let him do his job. If people would go about the business of making money in the stock market and discussing stocks, things would be much simpler. Not every member of IHub needs to know ever adminstrative action that occurs. Simply it is none of their business unless it directly involves them. A wise friend once told me, "If you are not part of the solution, don't become part of the problem" If I looked at your "what if" concerns from that perspective, I would surely think that from your intention to be part of solutions, you'll also be a part of the problems.
Right now this thread is on questions and answers and as the answers come it raises more questions especially to the old guard.
I think that you should go back and re-read the Ibox for this thread. Here, let me post a bit of it for you.

This board will be a place for you to ask any questions about InvestorsHub and for me to answer those questions or pontificate on whatever subject happens to be on my mind. Heck, for that matter, you can pontificate here, too. Got a beef? Let's hear it.
Ground rule for this thread: If you've got an issue with another person on the site or off the site, leave it at the door. No negative commentary about other people will be permitted in this thread.
The ibox states that this tread is to discuss questions and answers... It goes on to say that if you have a problem with or issue with another person from this site or another, leave it at the door. I think this is where your issue of "old guard" needs to be left at the door. Lots of "what if's" being posted on this tread are about OLD issue from other times and places. So if the Ibox says this board is for questions and answers.....make note, it says to leave old issues at the door and the negative commmentary about other people.
SO what you are telling me is the old guard should just wait till it is to late to have a voice int he matter?
Personally I think your missing it here as well. For several reasons. The "old guard" really does not have a say so.....this is not a democracy. It is cool of adminstration to want to listen to the members of the site, but the final say belongs to them. I am of the opinion that, if a person keeps coming back with pretend issues for management to deal with, management is going to have at some point say. They cannot manage pretend issues and come up with real policy for the site at the same time. Expecting repeated role playing by managment from posts will only serve to dull the voice of the posters. You said previously that you choose your battles deliberately.....again I suggest you choose to wait til there really are battles to be fought instead of these continued practice sessions. Don't fatique yourself or them on pretend battles. I think this might be one case where the squeaky wheel will not get the attention in the long run. It will be more like the boy that cried "wolf"
ALL of course......JMHO
