OK, I understand your points, up to a point.
I strongly feel that the posts that point out that we may have been taken for a ride and set up to be bag holders are very informative about the possible tactics that might have been used to get us into this stock so that others could exit at some level of a profit with no regard for the losses we take providing their opportunity for an exit. I want to be informed about these tactics, and hate when you people have them removed. I want to see the posts even if I may be in the stock that they have been used on and even if I am one of the gullible bag holders. At least it educates me to stay away of what else may be happening with that company and gives me some idea of how to cut my losses and how to possibly be much more cautious in the future.
All comments about how someone "MAY HAVE" frontloaded a stock and then kept telling others how beneficial all the developments would be and that this stock is one to keep holding even as it goes down are surely just conjecture, but INFORMATIVE conjecture about how someone of opposing views sees what has happened. These things DO HAPPEN even though you people do not want to think that it is a very real possibility that you may have been taken in on this tactic.

Now, for the record, I do not believe that this is what Latino did on purpose. I believe he truly believes in this company and is a bit taken aback about what it has done the past two to three months, and he just got caught up in a bad investment that he truly believed was going to be a good one and he tried to help us others benefit from the same prifits he was hoping to benefit from.
However, I like to see how other, more skeptical people might view his moves, because I am an overly trusting person and I need skeptics to point out possible things I may be taking in too trusting a manner so that I can invest more cautiously. After all, scam artists are very crafty at making people believe they are sincere and I believe it only benefits us all to get input from the other SKEPTICS that post warnings about tactics that they possibly see other posters employing. It does not make them true, but it gives us others something to keep thinking about while we are deciding whether to hold or not. Whether you and the other IHUB posters want to accept it or not, there is a level of crafty scam artists and frontloaders on these IHUB boards - it is inevitable. Their feet need to be held to the fire so this is not a candy store for them to make profits off of trusting people.
EVERYONE needs to be called to task for their mistakes to try to keep the successes of these types at a minimum. Even the posters that you and I think are sincere. I think Latino has been great in that he has, on NUMEROUS occasions, answered the accusations and THAT IS WHAT THE FORUM IS FOR. Let the ones that might call him to task do such, do not remove their posts, and then let us see his or other defenders' responses, and decide for ourselves what we think to be the most accurate story. Now, I agree, when they get down to cussing and MEAN name-calling, remove them. However, when they are posting suspicions and accusations, THEY SHOULD REMAIN FOR ALL TO READ and for us to then see the counterarguments.
Not getting all sides of the story is what angers me so. Even countryclub goers have differing viewpoints and it is only courteous to display them all.
