LG, re: "If I cannot post in an attack free zone, then I'll just stop posting." I hope it doesn't come to that!!! I enjoy the messages you post, and would hate for them to "go away".
Matt (http://www.investorshub.com/boards/profile.asp?User=2744) does a good job of keeping the trash off iHub. He handles problem posters with firmness and tact. Of course, he has to know about them before he can deal with them, and therein lies the rub. Somehow, though, he finds them.
In the interest of keeping iHub a pleasant environment for the many fine people who come here, I will occasionally comment on inappropriate posts (and once distressed Augie by doing so). Most times, I'm not the only one who tells the person they are out of line. All but the most recalcitrant seem to respond positively.
I haven't asked Matt to check the antics of an idiot ... YET. That's only because I haven't, personally, been subjected to harassment. I won't hesitate to do so if someone is disruptive or offensive, and does not respond to requests to mind their manners.
I hope you will let Matt deal with offensive people and won't let anyone drive you away.
