It is time to invite hocus back to these boards. His views have been vindicated. They are accurate.
We have all suffered from the nasty run-them-out-of-Dodge, wild-west-gunslinger operation that got him expelled. The aftereffects linger unto this day. They are the reason that so many people are unwilling to post. They know what can happen to them. They have seen what has happened to others.
Yet, I still read offensive, inflammatory language on the FIRE Board FAQS. Make no mistake. They were meant to be offensive. They were clearly identified as such at the Motley Fool discussion boards. BenSolar suggested alternative wording. His words were not accepted.
I take the words in the FIRE Board FAQS as a personal affront.
It is trivially simple and easy for people to back away from their previous positions. They don't even have to acknowledge guilt. They can easily refer to the heat of the moment.
The nofeeboards are continuing to destroy themselves. We must stop that. It is time to invite hocus back to these boards.
Have fun.
