Hehe. Even those people lose control and go a bit crazy sometimes, Springer. Trust me.

NO worries there... The key word in what you said is "Sometimes". I agree with you. I go "crazy" a couple times a month myself, just ask the staff.

The people we won't tolerate are the people who think it's "necessary" to focus on the personality of the poster rather than the issue being discussed.

The reason these folks think this is usually due to the fact they have NOTHING to add to the topic or issue so they can ONLY vent their frustrations over their ignorance by attacking the personality of the poster opposing their perspective.

These folks are usually listeners to talk radio or readers of one website authored/hosted by a persuasive person who is selling something to his/her audience.

When these people are confronted with real research done by world class minds here on ATS their "singular, all inclusive, must be correct with no variations answer" as received from said radio/web host is shot so full of holes they don't know what to do. They have emotionally invested in the answer so they can't seem to "let it go" and they go nuts. The sign of a "World Class/ATS investigator is the ease in which they discard a theory if it's proven FALSE, they aren't "married to the theory" because they are really looking for the truth.

Whenever a genuine critical thinkercomes up against an "emotionally invested" non researcher who is trying to sell the singular, faulty, sometimes ridiculous "answer" they got spoon fed from a radio/web host or Book Seller" (there are HUNDREDS of these charlatans now it's a cottage industry in this genre) the genuine critical thinker is subject to go a little crazy with frustration caused by an utter disregard for factual logic and blatant ignorance embrace rather than denial.

We will NEVER scald the critical thinker UNLESS we see a forum going down the path of personality focus and need to bring the whole boat back on course.

This is the case here. The critical thinkers are getting sucked into the fray out of pure frustration and that is not good. It IS Human Nature however. So we gently "nudge" the critical thinkers back on course and the "one trick ponies usually get banned because they can't handle it.

I hope this clears it up a little.
