[Welcome2Pinkyland]

this is the example i had in mind:

poster 1's post:

Fairy tales are not investments.

poster 2's reply

neither are pinky stocks - over the many years i've been trading them i only know of one that went up and didn't come back near zero.

poster 1's reply:

Right. Because they are SCAMS. (Within tos)

poster 2 reply:

wrong. scam is a poor term to describe what is happening on the otc used by the less intelligent- or intellectually dishonest. although there are pinkies that go public with bad intentions, most pinkies go public to raise money to try and either get a business idea going or expand their current business. the money raising is what drives the pps down eventually in most cases, especially if the business venture fails. (oopsie TOS violation - removed you loser. try harder next time- or don't respond)

i can see that what poster 2 posted implies that poster 1 is not intelligent or is intellectually dishonest. a personal attack per tos

but on the flip side poster 1 is implying poster 2 who trades the stock deals in fairytales and supports trading scams- and that is ok per tos

nothing about the rules lend itself to a natural conversation on the subject.
