The other day I made a statement about the depression being "contagious" and suggested that we get a letter together to send to JT  and some people thought that I was bashing. I know that most of us have been here long enough to see this sort of depression/emotional upset happen on this and other boards. What we have seen most recently are what I think of as the professional bashers--people who day-trade for a living. This was taken from an old post--Some are very convincing and manipulative--they move into your neighborhood and get to know your strengths and your weaknesses. They will then try to bend you mind--create doubt and even call you names if you don't agree with them.--  I think that most of the old-timers here recognize these people and can ignore them. However, when there is nothing but screaming going on for most of the day, how can we expect anyone to want to come here  to get info? IMHO, we owe it to ourselves to be more civil. There are many true-longs who are upset right now and need to be heard as they have been a great source of information. This is by far the best board as far as information shared. Anyway, the reason for this post---maybe it is the agora team that we should approach. Maybe we do need a monitor. GL, ads
