  1. Only if they also happen to be Hard Right Republicans. Trust me on this one.

  2. You should realize that it has nothing to do with ET.

    Many anonymous forum posters tend to be abusive, self-righteous, flamers, argumentative, nay-sayers, etc. Something they won't say to another face to face, they will do anonymously.

    Some forums seem more serene, but that is often due to the moderation policy - they:

    -- may check ID each poster (causes milder behavior and less spamming - ET does not - wish it would),
    -- may read every post before allowing publication - threatening to remove posts or user IDFs. (that would be hard on ET, with so many users)

    Some things could be better here, but many other investment forums are almost dead. I prefer the quantity, but wish they cracked down more on the inappropriate behaviours.
