The "problem" is that people get into penny stocks with visions of grandeur, such as buying their own island and retiring, and anyone that doesn't like the board favorite flavor of Kool-Aid is an enemy.
I re-thought it and I now beleive you guys are right and this should be left how it is. Even if the moderator is partial one way or another he does have every right to state his case.
It also make for some good old drama with posters debated their cases with the moderator, even if the moderator is the only one pumping or bashing the play.
