Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
Everyone has access to all the information they need. They can even read all of your posts that you have repeated thousands of times. What they don’t need, is to hand over their website to let us just endless repeat the same things over and over again that you have already said thousands of times. If that happened, board owners would just watch their websites deteriorate.
If they reined in the abusiveness from the Buy-and-Hold side of the table, their sites would flourish. All of the interactions that I have had with investors over the past 23 years show that. People love exploring the issues. People HATE the abusiveness that the Buy-and-Hold Goons bring to the table. It scares them and repulses them and causes them to drop out of the discussions. That’s why we have rules prohibiting such behavior at every site. Unfortunately, there’s a quick buck to be made in ignoring those rules and that reality has an influence.
We permit honest posting re peer-reviewed research in every other field of human endeavor. I don’t believe that the investment advice field can long continue to be the sole exception to the otherwise universal rule. We’ll see, you know? I think we have goodness within us and that the awful Goon stuff will not be able to survive the goodness in the final analysis.
Wish us luck!

Because disagreeing with Rob Bennett is considered abusive posting. Got it.
We all need to just keep it zipped.
The thing that a jury will look at in determining the length of a prison sentence is whether there was an intent to suppress discussion of the far-reaching how-to implications of the last 44 years of peer-reviewed research.

If people go to prison for suppression discussions on an internet board, it looks like you will be going away for a very long time. I can’t think of anyone that blocks more posts than you.
Okay, Anonymous.
My best wishes to you, in any event.
