It could if we had sane, non-reactive adults who could enter a conversation without crazy emotional reactions, name calling, defensiveness and every other childish response prevalent among many here.

For a long time I found the maturity level of this board to be somewhat entertaining but ultimately it is shameful. This is the reality of the group here.

1. You have your "penny longs" who benefitted - some greatly from the 2022 pump of the stock. Some of them are exceedingly proud of their accomplishment and pat themselves on the back every day. Quite a few have channeled that pride into disgust of anyone who dares suggest that they weren't smart at all but were DAMN LUCKY. They are the most smug and close minded.

2. You've also got your "penny longs" who held all this time and averaged down as the pump has continued to wane for the last 2 years. A few of these people are actually under water but are too ashamed to admit it. They are less proud but still very hopeful that they weren't both wrong about the company AND fools for not selling. Some reasonably hold the company accountable. Others take their fears out on the skeptics.

3. Then you've got your johnny and jane come lately types, who bought in during the massive pump and stayed because they fell in love with the story. Some of them are still believers and because they are down in profits they are extra angry at skeptics like myself, as they still want to believe but find the erosion of the price to be troubling so they have to direct their anger to others. Others, while they find skeptics annoying recognize that they were duped by the pump and rightly recognize that there are longs who have misled them over the last few years - namely Proto, but several others. But they can't voice their disgust too loudly for fear of being ostracized by the first 2 groups.

4. Within each group, Steven, are a precious few who despite their disappointments or fears have the emotional maturity to recognize that it is in their own best interests to hear various and opposing viewpoints to their own because SOMETHING hasn't gone according to their own plan, so maybe they don't really know as much as they had thought. They don't believe in cancelling out others. They don't believe in disparaging those who point out the truth. They don't believe the silly rumors and judgements of others. They aren't afraid to hold the company and fellow longs accountable for their words, but they realize too that ultimately they themselves are responsible for taking on a high risk investment in the hopes for a high reward.

They are the TRUTH SEEKERS. They are the few who truly deserve to be proud. You are one of them.
