Quote from ALICE:
If you want to have "fun" as you call it, post your garbage on Yahoo. This is a board about trading. Not a playground for YOU and your kindergarten school pals! 
Alice, I don't think you understand the value of, nor the reason behind a "chit-chat" section.
Chit-chat is just that, meaningless talk compared to the main purpose of the forums and the focus of E.T. Not to say that the chit-chat is meaningless, or comments aren't educational, funny, controversial....it is just an acceptance that there is a designated area for certain threads, that are either no longer about trading, or were never about trading. Consider it like a lounge in an airport, which allows smoking. A place where traders can go to blow off some steam, have some fun, etc.
What Baron and others that work with him to maintain this site have done is to create a community, a world for traders to exchange ideas. Some ideas relate to trading, some of it is just the normal, I repeat, normal "kindergarten" activity of adult males---it is primarily a male dominated forum---who balance out the high stress of day trading with a place for some virtual fun.
Baron should be congratulated for making the concept of a trading community work so well, with so little censorship on the whole from those who volunteer for the "thankless" task of serving as a moderator.
Once Ernie's thread was moved to the chit-chat section, he chose, willingly to continue responding to the criticism, even participated in the flaming process.
You contributed to the flaming process, with flaming of your own.
He could easily have ignored that, started another thread, which he did, and move along. He is not innocent in this process, from the moment that he returned a flaming serve.
