I hear you Larry, but the guy that was banned had made up his mind when he started posting that it would end that way. I had never really thought that organized "bashing" made any real sense because when you read a shareholder list there are thousands and thousands of names. There are barely a few hundred people on these boards. If you figure a third of those are sophisticated enough, and have done their own research that the negativity wouldn't affect them, then your left with a relatively small group of shareholders who would be effected by "bashing". It never really made economic sense to me!

Till I saw how textbook the one poster conducted his/her self. Wow! what amazed me! What shocked me more is the more cynical long time posters, on the other board, who got sucked up into it and became "pawns" of the manipulators. They were almost worse!

A three day ban on a poster who's been around a bit and posts on several stocks with pro and con messages would make a lot of sense.

The person banned earlier...........forget about it!

I've made several fairly harsh and critical posts in the last two months. I really aggravated both Frank and Sasha not to mention a few longs here. My rating got dropped but I was never warned nor deleted. Numerous other posters have had their complaints, criticism's and hissy fits with the same outcome. A short term ban could be usefull but banning someone like the last few won't cause me any loss of sleep.

By the way........no Hub Leader can ban anyone. It is done only after many complaints and violations whereby the user doesn't change the posting style they have been warned about...................carry
