PAretiree bows out

PAretiree :

I’ve given a good deal of thought and have decided for the time being to cease my active involvement with the MarketWatch board.

Along with many others, I’ve been displeased with heavy handed and oppressive administrative practices that include indiscriminate censorship and the abusive use of the thumbs down feature to apply administrative pressure on members.

Sadly, I’ve seen the best and the brightest members banned, resign or move to “topic specific” sub discussion groups. Over the past several months, the main MW discussion board has suffered greatly and MW’s administration, while admitting they were aware of abuses and problems, has done nothing.

This is SAD, since I had previously regarded MW as the best financial discussion board on the Internet.

Best of luck with your investments,

PAretiree
