hocus prevails

hocus is prevailing at the Motley Fool even though few may realize it. If you recall, hocus had requested...even begged...to have just one on-topic thread per month without disruption. Thanks to galagan, that is now happening. But because of galagan's skill, he is drawing in several who would normally consider themselves to be part of the opposition.
IMHO, galagan has a genuine interest in on-topic issues related to FIRE. He has established himself as a moderator by volunteering when intercst and telegraph refused to participate.
Recently, hocus has identified his nine major complaints. Two have been taken off the table. I have been able to support hocus's first assertion sufficiently...(I did have help)...and I have identified BenSolar as the expert about over-valuations and allocations. galagan has solicited his comments and BenSolar has agreed to provide some.
BenSolar has discretion as to when he will provide his comments. galagan has changed to an interview format because the opposition was unwilling to show...and IMHO with very good reason. BenSolar may choose to comment on the previously existing thread or he may choose to respond in the new interview format.
All that we have to do is let galagan set the rules and control the discussion. I am confident in the validity of our positions. Even better, if someone can show us that we are wrong, we will welcome it and we will correct our error.
Have fun.

P.S. Y'all might let hocus in on what is going on.
P.P.S. The two complaints that were taken off the table are valid. They were removed simply because they are very easy to verify.
