I don't believe that a good mod should have a hard time deciding which posts to delete if they follow one main rule that is very easy to understand and apply: If the post, either positive OR negative, is supported by logical reasoning and facts, it should be left on the board and people can read it or not read it.

If the post is ranting, stupid, and lies, then it should be deleted. And name calling of any kind should NEVER be tolerated.

It IS just that simple. Facts are facts, like them or not, and while some here like preaching to the choir and ignoring the tornado warnings, that doesn't make for open discussions or smart investing.
