why are you putting so much effort to put down a stock you are not invested in

How is that an attack on another poster

Because you are talking about the poster and not the stock. Take the personal crap (ie emotion) out of your posts, refute what the poster is saying with "facts" of your own and don't talk about other posters. Stock specific boards are about stocks and not other posters or their motives for posting. Capice?

I don't understand how people can post bogus information not backed by facts, yet when you call them out, you get banned?

Posters can provide as much or as little substantiation with their posts as they choose. It is the privilege and duty of each reader to asses the relevance and credibility of that they read. Challenge the facts, don't post about or attack the poster. Posters are not the topic of the board.

For example, I asked a simple question....why are you here if you don't like the stock?

That's about the poster. They are not the topic of the board. They "reason they are here" is no more the topic than the "reason you are here." Everyone has a motive for posting, including you. It's not relevant, nor is it the topic of a board that's about a stock.

I'm an invested stock holder in a company and I can't even question when individuals come to a board and start spreading lies.

Correct. See above.

That's wrong. How do I not have the ability to question a poster spreading outright lies?

Attack the message, not the messenger. If you cannot refute or articulate a challenge to the subjective content with which you disagree without resorting to making it about the other poster, your alternative is to remain silent.

How are asking questions like "why are you putting so much effort to put down a stock you are not invested in" wrong? How? How is that an attack on another poster. It's a serious question. Not an attack!!!

It's 100% about the other poster. It 0% about the company/stock. 100% off-topic. Any off-topic content subjects the entire post to removal. If you do not want your posts to be removed then omit content that will result in the removal of your posts and posting privileges.
