You're the stangest poster I've ever seen on IHub. You have good input. BUT, it's your tone
I completely agree. At times I think I'm reading a post of his that has genuine, well thought out input. But then come the condescending, sarcastic comments and the LOL's and I'm left with no choice but to disregard the entire message.
There are two types of message content I read on these boards (meaning all stock specific boards) that IMO ruin any chance of having a credible, adult conversation take place. The first is the type that I mentioned above. The second is the type that goes to the opposite extreme and come from over the top, WAY too exuberant posters. When they start talking about private islands, and exotic sports cars they will be buying with the proceeds they'll hopefully make from the stock I also have to disregard those entire messages for the same reasons.
Both kinds of messages do nothing to add intelligent, fact based conversation to the board. They aren't even good personal opinions because of the content in the messages. Both of those type messages push the envelope out past the extremes of what is considered meaningful, worthwhile information/discussion.
There are over 500 board mark's on this board and of those 500 there is probably less than 100 people that are either regular posters, or occasional posters. The rest that make up the bulk of the members here are just lurkers, and potential investors looking for helpful information. When they come across the type of messages I have alluded to they see a board that is spinning out of control in many respects.
As a member of the board I definitely want to hear ALL point's of view expressed, meaning both positive and negative messages. As long as both sides of the story are presented in a mature, well thought out manner, I'm all ears. But when what is written crosses over in to those extreme areas they become nothing more than a waste of space and not worth reading. IMO of course, but I think many here mirror that sentiment.
