BANNED again by Seeking Alpha

Once again, my reply to Troll "Writer" Alan Borchstein was deleted. The reply is at the bottom. See for yourself if its too offensive. My favorite part is that the idiots at SA call my opinion "unsubstantiated". Hey SA editors go back to school and learn how writing articles that have "I, me, and my" is frowned upon because it weakens an argument by injecting personal opinions!

Dear nopancakemix,
We have deleted your comment because it contains an unsubstantiated allegation against the article’s author. We encourage discussion that disagrees with our articles, and we welcome alternative perspectives. We ask, however, that you provide evidence to support your arguments for how and why you disagree with the content or interpretation of the article, rather than impugning the author’s motivation.

If you believe that there are serious problems with an article we encourage you to file a formal dispute (here: http://seekingalpha.com/page/dispute_an_article).

On Article Why Medical Marijuana Inc. Has Lost Its Buzz by Alan Brochstein
Original comment:
Most good economic writers try to avoid writing sentences with "I", "me" and "my" because it seriously weakens the arguments, immediately identifying the statements as opinion instead of fact. Like Asharf, your article is so full of biased personal opinions, it makes one question what your motivation is, especially since you disclosure of no financial involvement with MJNA. What is your fascination with MJNA if you have no skin in the game and please spare us the "saving one investor from making a bad move" mantra that is chanted by message board trolls and net nuts? The timing, as well as content of this article, was utterly predictable and merely a rehashing of old opinions with a sprinkle of new earnings numbers. By now, the good people have figured there is no wolf coming and you are using this subject just for personal attention
