    I will miss the Beagle, but also acknowledge the ref did need to give him the yellow card on occasions, but a permanent red, whoever decided that (I fully acknowledge it may have been Beagle himself), seems over the top.
    Totally agree Iceman, however, I see he is quite active on the other forum.

    A real shame he is no longer part of it.
    Fully agree.
    This goes against important principles of open justice and free speech

    I agree. A big loss to the forum, not only for his contributions but also for the discussion he "provoked" from other contributors. We are the poorer for losing that.

    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.

    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.

    I agree. It is great to have discussion with posters with differing opinions and who look at issues from different angles and perspectives. The forum will be the poorer from his disappearance to the Sharetrader Salt Mines.

    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.
