Totally agree Iceman, however, I see he is quite active on the other forum.

Well said Iceman. I believe this happens in many forums of a wide range of topics. I used to participate in motorcycle forums back in my country and man the topics will branch out infinitely. However what I see very common among people is the need to be right and this will turn into a passionate debate leaving people walking on the edges.
I personally I'm here to learn as I understand investing as a very long term learning, even if I can improve a lot my knowledge I wouldn't strongly hold my thoughts but this is only me.
At the end of the day we all have good and not so good qualities.
beagle gone? that bad i enjoyed seeing him get upset when someone didnt agree with him lol
It also seems common among some people (and certainly some posters here) to shut debate down and get people banned if they cant "win" a discussion.
I agree - we are all here to learn - but sometimes we don't like the lessons on offer. Thats no reason to hound a person off the boards.
We should be open to all views and learn to use our own filters. Banning (and the deletion of all posts) is a very very sad state of affairs.
To be fair, Beagles posts prior to being banned haven't been deleted as has been suggested here (unless they have been reinstated).
Whatever happened is unfortunate & will miss his contributions to the forum.
