I really don't see that many posters being "bashed" for being "long on SLJB", contrastly, if someone writes a honest post, albeit negative, they are most of the time "bashed" and sometimes threatened by a clan of "true believers". I won't name names because most all that read this board know who I am talking about. It is almost humorous - even when former "longs" write something negative, all of the sudden they are accused of being a "paid basher". Then when a "long" sells, (which is happening more and more) first they are wished good luck, but if they continue to post, they are accused of whining, crying, blah, blah, blah, and asked why are they still here?
Last I checked this was a public forum. Rules are simple, stay on topic, no personal attacks - otherwise feel free to post. Along with the rules, there should be a warning that if you post something contrary to the mob mentality of the board - beware, you will be bashed, threatened and called names. Oh well - it's still entertaining as all get out!
