This is a very recent change. It's a long overdue change. Thanks for bringing that one to our attention, Norman Schlenker. I understand your reluctance to disclose private correspondence so I will excuse that for the moment. There's nothing to excuse. It would be unethical for me to publish Dory36'...

Are you saying that if I come here and express a skeptical attitude that my posts won't disappear and that you won't petition El Supremo to ban me? My understanding is that ES has a "no banning" policy. So I don't think you have much to worry about on that score. You have had your say on ...

Got documentation for that claim? I'm not going to go public with the e-mail correspondence between Dory36 and me without his permission. If he gives me his permission, I will post it. He has my permission to post our back-and-forth e-mails if he likes. Dory36 did not identify particular posts for ...

Dory made you moderator and you could not help abusing your position by deleting much of what was written by others. The deletions that I made were made on Dory36's instructions. I wasn't even informed of the deletion of Petey's post. I wonder if our new friend Norbert Schlenker is an intercst supp...

I had my long post I copied here above removed with a note from dory that it was due to some issue that was too detailed to go into. I knew nothing about that until I just read your post, Petey. I do think that intercst going around adding 'hocomania' to online dictionaries is an attempted form of ...

I suggest you back up and read Petey's post. That is the way to approach the issue. That's the approach that was followed in every post that was put to the Alternate SWR Methodology board (with the exception of the small number that were deleted pursuant to Dory36's instructions), both those put up...

I will say something re the "conspiracy" claims being made by Ataloss at the other board. Dory36 has obviously done a very wrong thing. He has betrayed both the community members who participated at the "Alternate SWR Methodology" board during its too short life and the community...

You posted on the "Alternate SWR Methodology" board, Pete. When you looked at that board, did you see a single post that was in any way, shape, or form abusive or that in any way contributed to the problems that our community has been experiencing in its discussions of SWRs for 34 months n...

This is what we have become, people. You can take a look at what we were in the days before intercst was named "Board General" and you can take a look at what we have become, and you can decide for yourself whether intercst is an effective leader for our community or not. My view is that t...

Everything was over before I had a chance to participate in a meaningful manner. I think it is fair to say that enough damage was done to the intercst case in two days of non-disrupted SWR posting for Dory36 to have concluded that he didn't dare risk permitting a third. My understanding is that he ...

It looks as if El Supremo is the sole occupant in the leadership position among the discussion boards. ES now has the only board that permits honest and informed posting on SWRs. That distinction presents him with a great opportunty to build this site by appealing to the largest segment of our comm...

We Have Seen the Future of Retire Early Boards,and It Works!

Dory36 has banned me from the Early Retirement Forum. Our community proved a point in the two days in which that board was in existence. Early on in the Motley Fool chapter of this saga, I asked intercst to allow us one non-disrupted thread per month in which to discuss the realities of SWRs. He ref...

You worry too much, my good friend. And I don't think anyone is going to be embarassed in days to come. Everyone is going to be too excited about the learning experience they are enjoying to be spending time looking backwards. I've been telling people for a long time now that we were gaining tractio...

"An Online Community of Unknown But Growing Size"

Syke put up an entry for "Hocomania" in the Wikipedia dictionary (I don't know much about it, but, as I understand things, the definitions are supplied by users on an ongoing basis) a day or two ago. The item was initially deleted, for obvious reasons. But now a case has been put forward t...

I have received a response from Scott Burns.

He has reiterated his interest in writing a column re JWR1945's research. He has not committed himself to publishing that article by any specified date.

I am continuing to correspond with him re our ongoing SWR discussions.
