Yes but moderators should not be removing posts that are not attacking anyone and simply counter to their investment views, and using an 'attack' as the excuse to effectively censor a board.
THAT, Dave, is what you are not quite understanding.
You effectively argued against yourself.
1. A moderator is in place to ensure a modicum of respect is provided to all posting.
2. A moderator therefore, needs to be unbiased, and not allow their investment views to be affecting their judgements
3. You have stated that moderators are not unbiased
4. Therefore, many often will implement their biases / views on posts as threatening when they are indeed not but simply counter to their views.
5. Please see number 1 and 2 again.
You have proven my point
Thanks Dave
