I have already handed out a couple of posing bans in this area today.

There is only one place on this forum where that sort of behavior is tolerated - The Bar. If you do not have access to it because you are not a gold donor nor do you have sufficient tenure to get in there without a star, then there is NO place you may express such behavior.

I do not care which side of the market you are on. This sort of three-year-old behavior is NOT tolerated; this is not Yahoo and it will not turn into Yahoo.

All posting bans throughout the system from this point forward for such behavior will be PERMANENT, not a "timeout".

This forum exists to talk about the capital markets and share information; crying in your beer, gloating or poking sticks in people's eyes anywhere other than in The Bar has ALWAYS been against the rules, and this will serve as every participants final and only warning: Do it and it will be the last thing you post - ever - in that part of the forum.
