In the first post, the company CEOs name is "mikie".

How do you know redfisher was not going to play golf with him?

They live close to each other.

Also, the company is a golf promotion company. Are you trying to tell me discussing golf on the board of a golf promotion company is off topic?

As far as the second post, the company has announced they are going to merge with a stem cell research company. The poster simply stated he knew the new ticker would not be STEM, because it had already been taken. Not off topic at all IMO.

Neither one of those posts were TOU violations, and neither should have been removed.

This is one of the areas that sets apart the very best moderators. Perhaps this will help to illustrate:

There is a difference between off-topic and irrelevant. Off-topic falls under the purview of the moderator; irrelevant doesn't. Readers determine the veracity, credibility, and relevance of posts, not moderators. It can be a fine line of separation sometimes, but usually taking a step back to gain an objective perspective will reveal which side of the line on which it falls.
