Madhatter, I have no problem with ignoring messages or posters that I feel are worthless. Most of us probably do this without a problem or without it being part of an organized effort. (It is certainly easier on RB with the "Ignore Poster" button.)

I also do not agree with your opinion about at least one of those on your list, FanClubBoy. Does that make me a basher deserving to be on your blacklist of ignored posters?

We all have our own opinions and they do not always agree with others. But we are all entitled to our opinions and have a right to express them in an open forum, whether others agree with it or not. For instance, I disagree with you concerning Bill Branum. I think the way he handled the reports from the Open House was very self serving. Wasn't he the one organizing the OH questions from other longs? In effect representing those who could not attend. So how does he handle this responsibility? He initially put out a reasonably positive report on Monday without mentioning that he had made the decision to sell his shares. After selling off he turns around the next day and delivers the bad news. Not exactly watching out for his fellow longs in my opinion. At least Anthony gave everyone warning about what he was doing before releasing his reports.

You say Bill made an honest mistake. I think his actions were less than honorable. He was profiting (or minimizing his losses) while leaving everyone else to suffer the consequences of his real opinion of the company. I personally no longer trust what he has to say, but I'll defend his right to say it.
