One of the real advantages to having your own blog on the Internet, is that it allows you to have a forum for your ideas and thoughts that is free from censorship.

It also allows the author to use any kind of language he chooses. If I want to say that someone is a *** ***, then I am free to do so. I am liberated from the constraints of the morally upright, self-righteous hypocrites, that dominate much of the conservative world. These are the very same *** *** that are the first in line to to censor critical thought and what they perceive to be distasteful or inappropriate ideas or language.

Of course, censorship accomplishes nothing, other than the promotion of ignorance. "Those in control" often suppress the speech of others in an arbitrary, subjective, and prejudicial manner. A case in point, are the actions taken by the very popular trading forum, Investors Hub.

The management of this forum routinely censors ideas and critical thought. They are overtly restrictive and arbitrary in their allowance for the use of sarcasm and other literary devices. If Mort Sahl, Will Durst, or Dennis Miller were traders, and had participated on this forum, I wonder how many of their posts would have been deleted for having been deemed as being inappropriate or offensive.

Case in point is the deletion of a recent post of mine and my one week “suspension” from the forum by the Investor Hub "***". The post in question contained a parody of the Mel Brook’s parody “Springtime for Hitler”, titled “Springtime for Larry”.

The Larry in question is Larry Stambaugh, the CEO of Cryoport ( CYRX:OTCBB). The dialogue points out that there are not any Jewish people employed by Cryoport, and that if there were, the company might be doing better due to the purported, superior business acumen of Jewish people.

Springtime for Larry

narrator:

cryoport was having trouble

what a sad, sad story

needed a new leader

to bring it some glory

nothing but bad news

not very happy and ***

that’s why they hired Larry

it was their hope and pray

this strategy had to work,

there was no other way

they hadn’t been producing

just letting the investors pay

so, here’s a little tale

about larry and cryoport

a company and it’s ceo

with not much to report

larry was brought on to

generate revenues and sales

and turn CYRX into one of

the next great business tales

standing by his new BMW

in scenic orange county

surveying his rich land

and all it’s wonderful bounty

worried that his master plan

had gone so terribly wrong

if he was still the same man

why its been taking so long

when it came to his mind

that nowhere you could find

a cohen, greenberg, or saul

just a bollinger, muller, and doll

it was just a flash thought

a fact he should contemplate

something the struggling Cryoport

had been missing to date

conspicuously absent

were any children of Zion

although I’m sure it’s not

for any lack of larry’s tryin

but not one on the board,

or in upper management

not one *** jew in sight

in the whole establishment

johnson, mc’dowell, and o’toole,

bring on the master race

pass the white bread & hellman’s

please don’t forget to say grace

chorus:

hey larry stambaugh

whad’ya say

have you hired

any jews today

i heard what they say

just might be true

they’re good with money

know business and fair value

larry:

I’ll give it a try

c’mon, vhy not?

hire a token

maybe the stock gets hot

I’ll make it done,

a fait accompli

a jew from l.a.

can set me free

like Moses before me

his people he led

a jew might just save me

get Cryoport out of the red

chorus:

it’s springtime in lake forest

Mexican’s are crossing the borders

ve'll get us some cheap labor

to handle the increase in orders

Parody is a frequent ingredient in satire and is often used to make social and political points. Shakespeare often used a series of parodies to convey his meaning. While I am no Shakespeare, I appear to be in good company when using this form of literary expression to convey a message. My comments were neither a personal attack nor off topic. On the contrary, they were factual and accurate observations.

According to The administration of Investors Hub, the purpose of the suspension is so that I can “cool off”, figure out what I did wrong, and eventually get re-instated. They go on to instruct that I could expedite my return to the forum by admitting my transgressions". They even offer up this quote as an example of an acceptable form of penitence/."Yep, guilty as charged?. I acknowledge and regret my actions and I am prepared to accept the consequences,. I commit to modify my bad behavior in the future;." That's kind of like the victim of a rape, apologizing to the rapist, for being a bad ***!

I wonder if Matthew Brown, the head of Investors Hub came up with that quote? This is of course the same Matthew Brown, that was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to forfeit $4/.78 million in illicit profits for his alleged involvement in multiple “pump-and-dump” schemes?. Maybe when Matt is on the receiving end of multiple "pump and dumps" in prison, he'll commit to to modifying his bad behavior in the future, but I won't have to, because my behavior was neither illegal nor immoral/.

Are the people at IH so arrogant and egotistical that they think I will sell out by cutting a deal with them? Do they really expect me to forget about all that I have worked so hard to develop - my ideals, my beliefs, and my self-respect - just to expedite my return to Investors Hub?

Do I really have to spell it out for them?
