It’s a tool like everything else. If you know what it is (a measure of how much someone has earned vs sold) it provides information. It is not conclusive though. Just because someone sold (their choice, their funds) doesn’t make them a bad person or bad user.

that's exactly my point. I respect Azircon's position on this- he's looking at it from a long-term investor's angle. But Its not enough info to "make the call" so to speak.
Never seen someone downvoting because of a high KE. Would you ban someone from your company because they didn't brush their teeth regularly? This person may have some reasons not to do it. But they still get noticed and miss some opportunities because of that.
It's a crude metric to asses the value of someone. As you hint, it should not be the only thing we should look at.
Everyone has a way of thinking and priorities. I don’t think it’s a bad tool to use.
I agree with Marky here, just because someone sold one time or two does not make him an extractor. If they do earn much, that dent in KE will stay for a long time.
Again it's a simple tool, it's easy to understand. It gives you a quick measure of a behavior. Someone with KE = 1 and KE = 1000 are certainly different and that is what I am after. It is not a labeling tool.
