Why is it necessary for so many frequent posters to so often, and defensively, attack others who try to discuss issues important to us all? It sounds more like a high school clique, sometimes, than a forum for the exchange of ideas.
I have been significantly invested in IDCC for nearly a year, and this stock has largely languished during that time. (If all of the Rev. Jim Jones charismatics were correct, the Houston 100 should have already come and gone.)
The Nokia arbitration has been concluded, leaving a negotiated result, or an arbitration award, as the next important event.Understadably, like in The Telltale Heart, the tension rises with every tick of the clock. Before long we`ll all know the result, as well as whether protracted 3G battles will be necessary with Nokia, and others. We are all in this together, having made our own decisions, for disparate reasons. Rather than jumping on top of anyone bold enough to raise a question or express concern or doubt, why not show some civility and tolerance towards those whose views may represent individual or minority opinions, without juvenile ad hominem attacks?
Ultimately, if we are right about this company, our reasons for holding long will be immaterial.
