Bob, I already posted I had no answer for you on YOUR example. But I wasn't using an example like that. let's use this one:
Bob is a fraud, and a criminal. At si he was in a conspiracy with the shorters. How it worked was he would get the tip on which stock was going to be shorted beforehand, take a short position, and then allow the shorters to go on the targeted thread and destroy it, not taking any actions against the shorters to further his gains. Then he was told when to cover, which he did. In addition, he stole money from si, and all of the above reasons are why he was fired, and told never to come back.
Now bob, this is a total fabrication, and while it may be a personal attack, it IMO would be considered libelous by anyone. Do you think that this type of post should remain?
I am not talking about the shades of grey, I am asking you about the posts that any reasonable person would be a llittle nervous about. I really think you are going to far when you imply that ANYTHING goes, there HAS to be SOME line drawn, somewhere. Don't you agree with that?" I'm not trying to cause trouble, I think that there has to be some restraints on these types of things.
