>>Yet, she still abuses a great number of people here at IHUB with the same rhetoric and hyperbole she uses at Yahoo or RB.<<
A lot of people carry over their rhetoric from RB/Yahoo. You can only change so many people. She went a good stretch without getting into personal attacks. Seems like a few months. Recently, she' started slacking. I've sent her a note. I haven't seen too much more of it. There are a few people that have warnings out and are near a nice long suspension, though.
>>Mary comes in calls everyone a crook, get ignored and calls everyone a crook again, gets deleted, cries foul and calls everyone a crook again...and from there things really get ugly<<
I haven't seen where she is calling anybody but the company a crook. You are open game for that, if the poster can back it up, as a public company. As for posters, I haven't seen her call anybody a crook that posts. Maybe I missed that.
>>Never once was it necessary to call the longs crooks in cahoots with management. I despise toxic financing as much as any investor and agree with exposing it. But to dig back into someones past for more than 10 years and call them crooks because they were sued...(not convicted, not incarcerated, just sued) every day for weeks on end is not bashing, its abuse. <<
You have a point -- yes, she is getting a bit rediculous with the constant posting of the CEO was sued thing. Which I've addressed and trying to resolve, publicly. But you are also mixing words. Again, I haven't seen her call a board poster a crook (at least not anybody here on IH -- I don't follow RB). But to call the CEO a crook is fine, as long as it's backed by some kind of reasonable analysis -- and this I've seen her posts -- too often, lately, but she does back it up with "her thoughts."
>>You claim she is drawn into these fights by the longs, I disagree.<<
I think everybody gets into and enjoys the fights, for some reason. Long/short. In any other market sector, it would be a debate. But in the OTC, no matter what stock or what site, it always turns into a "fight"
>>But that war can be fought without disrespecting one's opponent.<<
I agree, completely. I've said before (and you agreed) that she can be a valuable resorce, if toned down and made socialable. She's just hard to get along with and extremely stubborn. But she can be an asset, as in the OTC you all-too-often here just the positive. Whereas, she only posts the negative. I consider that helpful. And if you ever get toasted on a BB stock, you will too. She does need some shaping up though. But I think that comes mostly from RB/Yahoo postings. She hangs out there way too much, as does Joemonkey.
So how do you solve that, without kicking out potential assets to the community?
