The Question and Answer Board

[Bird of Prey]

I would like to see proof (if you have any) of your allegation.

I personnally have witness no incidents such as you describe here. There are a number of people posting here regularly that are critical of and even rude to management, yet their privileges have not been terminated. More than a few persons of the female persuasion fall into that group. From time to time I have been a member of that group yet my privileges have never been revoked. BTW, I am certain that present management may have wanted to revoke my privileges from time to time as I have gotten a bit outside the lines if you know what I mean.

You're here for a reason. You have several choices.
You can continue as you are and live with the restrictions imposed on free membership. You can spend your posts making not so thinly veiled accusations or you can spend it discussing stocks. You can upgrade to premium membership for a month, during that month you can test your theory to whatever extent you feel necessary. If you break the rules, there are consequenses. No message site is going to give anyone a carte blanche to do as they please, to attack other users at will, to post their personal information and generally disturb other users free rights to use the service.
Your argument has been presented dozens of times in various forms here before, though some that argue you point no longer post here, many still do, And to my knowledge were never even suspended for a short time much less terminated as you suggest.

So, if you have proof I'd like to see it.
IMHO, Matt Brown is one of the better site Admins I have ever known, although he is raw and still learning the job. Unlike many poor admins he admits mistakes and learns from them. He make changes only when necessary, and punishes only when forced to. My only strong complaint is that he is sometimes too lenient on abusive users. And he has heard that publicly and privately from me before.
Bob Z. our other half of the management team is an excellent code monkey. 8>)
His contributions in the last couple of months have been stellar. Bob is also aware of my not so favorable opinion of his skills as an Admin. He is to be commended for distancing himself from admin duties (at least publicly), letting Matt handle that chore.

I do recognize that there are persons out there that have this negative view of IH. I offer you the following challenge:

Put up or shut up. Post what you want to say about whatever stock you wish to comment on. See if it gets you booted. You can do this without spending a dime. Free accounts are allowed to post on Stock related boards, so have at it. I wouldn't be surprised if Bob or Matt raised your daily post limit if your posts were of a stock related nature and you asked them very nicely. I think you will find that well presented, thoughtful arguments will be well received here at IH. And that poorly presented personal vendetta's are equally "shown the door".
So step up to the plate and show us what you're made of. Are you really a sincere investor? or another whiner that can only "win" arguments by getting emotional and making things "personal".

Whatever you're pitching IH has the sticks to handle it.

Just Bring It.
