Tinroad: I read your comments with great interest.
I would take absolute disagreement with the line:
What existed was "free discussion" and it was a "healthy forum". It was posters all of one mindset, making personally biased statements and then others nodding their heads with agreement telling each other they were right.
I used the example of going to the Democratic National Convention in 1984 and asking them who would win the Presidency. 99.9% of them would say Mondale, and Reagan carried 49 states. This discussion would have absolutely no value, and this board was similar.
I don't think I have to prove this point, as mentioned posts were deleted by you and GoSilver and then reinstated by the powers that be when nothing was found wrong with them.
If you remember Tinroad, you kicked me out of Ihub because I was making a case that what was written in the financials was different from what was being said in the PR's. As we all know now, many of those PR's never materialized.
I believe the topic that you booted me for was mentioning that I was hearing Dataplay was not going to meet their launch, and brought up the fact that the CEO tried to launch to other media storage companies and failed. After saying this I was gone.... In hindsight, obviously it was a very worthwhile and truthful statement that had real value to EDIG investors. But you silenced it.
To stress the fact more that this was a censored board look at your post that I am answering.
Your whole post is gauged to what to do about the bashers here. Shouldn't we also address the hypsters that will say anything no matter how false and misleading to selfishly profit as well?
To prove my point Tinroad, here is an honest question:
"...blow away anyone who consistently trumpets the same position and heaps scorn on those who dare to dissent."
DABOSS absolutely fits this description. In keeping true to your statement should DABOSS be "blown away"?
Honestly,
Take a look back when Edigital issued shares each time. Raging Bull always knew /posted it first. And after a while Ihub caught up, basically because one person always posted it and no one wanted to post anything bad, regardless of the reality and truth. If this person leaves who usually post the stock issuance, Readers of this board will never know.
I agree that civility should be brought back to this board, and I am a guilty as most hitting hard to people who I think and not truthful and trying to take advantage of people.
But I fear Tinroad your sense of what is a worthwhile, free and honest exchange board to you is pretty much a tightly controled board with everyone nodding their heads and drinking the Kool-Aid, as we had when you and Gosilver where the moderators.
To really determine if you are commited to a free, civil, hype and bash free message board in which you claim... I would ask you again to answer my DABOSS question when considering you statement.
Should he if he continues his posting ways be kicked off?
Otherwise it is just a nice little speech post.
