Do you REALLY think the solution is to allow the members that have been engaged in blatant market manipulation against retail investors to make the judgement call on whether a retail investor is being taken advantage of and disable their ability to buy or sell a stock?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Of course you do. You're corrupt.
