All good points R.

Luckily I have only had to ban a few times, but always with the input and agreement of the majority of the HLs on the hub. I have learned that most problems are taken care of by the herd and I use that term with endearment. I'm a student of group dynamics and in just about every situation I have seen here on Agora, unpleasant behavior is always taken care of internally. The needs of the many...

Things have changed here over the many years that I have been a member. Mostly for the good, but in the beginning this was quite the place to be and exchange ideas. Before the last financial crisis everyone was riding high and so hopeful....excited to find new opportunities. The energy here was tangible. Now members are beaten down as we wait for the Jr.'s and certain sectors to gain traction again. There seems to be more bickering and negative sentiment. A different animal to keep in line.

I remain positive and hope for better days.
