You CAN trust Rob Bennett. He is the only person in the Great Safe Withdrawal Rate Debate who has spoken the truth. That debate is over and he won. No honest person can disagree with him. That is why he has been banned at so many websites. There is a conspiracy to suppress the truth about investing and valuations. Have fun. I should have spoken about this sooner.

People who don't buy into Rob's conspiracy theory are crazies and sewage. If only Rob ran the internet, then it would be safe and pleasant for all of him. If you want to see a blog sanitized of all comments that disagree with Rob, just visit his site. Don't expect any of your comments to get posted though unless you are highly agreeable and obsequious. Rob uses open blogs to advertise, but he doesn't run one. And so it goes. People who don’t buy into Rob’s conspiracy theory are crazies and sewage.

End of sentence, end of paragraph, end of chapter, end of story. If there are any reading this who have been wondering why the investing model that has become the conventional wisdom in recent years produced the biggest economic crisis since the great depression, the sewage posts should tell the story that needs to be told. It's not that there are crazies on the internet. We all get that. It's that there have been numerous places at which these tactics have been either tolerated or flat-out encouraged. There are big-name experts who have participated at boards at which these sorts of tactics were employed to block embarrassing questions about the "strategies" that are today's conventional wisdom. The good news is that the pain we are all experiencing today will provide us the motivation to work up the courage we need to work our way to a better place in days to come. It gets better.

Rob,

One example alone is enough to prove you wrong, but for at least three of the six you provided as examples of fellow bannings, you are just plain wrong. A minimum of a 50% error rate is not too good for a guy claiming he is some sort of leader and author to be listened to. All three of those posters are free to post at M* and Bogleheads — if they have stopped posting, it is because they chose to and not because they were banned.

YOU, however, have been banned more than one dozen times, and you claiming those as kindred to you shows you will lie to try to get support for your otherwise unsupportable claims.

Um, OK, but what's in it for us? Spammers usually get paid. Why should we do your spam work for free? Rob,

I think it is fair to say that you'll know by the reaction you get what the story is. Why would the site owners remove the thread if they did not have a long history of banning honest posting on safe withdrawal rates at the board?
