I was just getting caught up with the weekend news and was reading an article about the shooting at a Maryland mall yesterday. The article said the mall would be closed today as the police look for clues for the MOTIVE in the shooting.

Last week a similar event happened in Indiana when a young man walked into a convenience store and shot 2 women to death. The first thing people ask themselves is WHY, what was the MOTIVE.

Some people that post on this board think asking WHY and what is the MOTIVE behind a posters posting tendencies is somehow out-of-bounds or against the rules. They think you should only be allowed to ask quesitons that THEY think are pertinent, to hell with what all of the other posters want to know.

I stayed out of the fray this weekend because for one I was too busy, but for another, I'm just tired of playing against a stacked deck. I was threatened with bannishment by Agora because of my postings last week. So obviously Agora is more worried about it being a peaceful environment rather than actual truth prevailing here. I see Brian suggested in a post today that "if he isn't going to make money on this stock"....see my previous postings about what Brian has said about his stock holdings. He held 8 million shares at one time, before 2 runups - one to over $8 per share in the early 2000's and one to over $2 per share in 2006. Add to that the fact that over that time the company paid what, 9 cents per share in dividends, and one can only come to the conclusion that Brian has not only made money, he's made a LOT of money on this stock. So he must have lied somewhere. Either in what he said about owning 8 million shares, or alluding to not making money with this stock. Yet if I attack THAT angle of his posts I am villified and threatened with bannishment for attacking a poster.

The people that came to this forum stated at the time it was to get away from the Raging Bull bs. Now it's worse than Raging Bull ever was because you have people in control as Hub leaders that feel they can direct the conversation whichever way they want and which isn't necessarily in the best interest of the majority of posters.
