Company officials are not afforded the same degree of protection from personal attack as other users since they are public figures. That does not mean that users have a blanket exemption; they should still exercise common courtesy when addressing any user.

Whether referring to a specific user or a group of users, pejorative terms such as "pumpers" & "bashers" are almost always either off-topic and/or a personal attack, particularly on company specific boards. Those boards are about a stock and the company, not about other users.

"he should surely know the the CEO of USSE posts as "greenpower"

In case you missed the earlier dialog and assuming that there is even a way to know who a user is indeed a CEO, posting here does not gain him the same degree of protection from personal attacks that benefits other users since he is a public figure.

I hope that answers your question.
