Venting does have its limits though. The main complaint of HotCopper's operator "Yoda" is that Australia's laws stifle 'free speech' (while he and his moderators delete comments they don't agree with when the mood takes them!). He says he's "getting ready to move to the USA" where, he presumably and mistakenly thinks, you can say whatever you like about anyone whenever you like.

Now you can understand why many HotCopper regulars believe they have free rein when it comes to voicing their discontent with "tall poppies". And you can take it as given that high up the average HotCopper-ite's list of pet hates is Ben Bernanke. When they aren't blaming the One World Government, the UN, President Obama or PM Gillard, they blame Bernanke for all the real and imagined ills of the financial world.
Just the same, when some of the regulars mistake this satirical piece on Ben Bernanke (from the famed "The Onion") for the 'real thing' it's got to be right up there with the best of them.

No-one could accuse the average HotCopper-ite of being astute :(
