"they can take pot shots at some stock in a negative way.........traders CANT say ANYTHING negative in return"
This is where you lose me. If they are talking about the stock, what purpose does it serve to say something negative about them? That doesn't refute any one's opinion about the company. Who wants to read people bickering about speculation on who is/isn't a pumper/basher/cheerleader/naysayer?
