Doubt it. Instead, all the crap posted by the increasing number of shorters appearing on
SI who are spreading half-truths mixed with lies will find themselves in a bind as they get
sued, and the ratio of crap to useful info will go up immensely.

IS there any evidence to suggest that shorters are somehow more prone to half-truths and lies than long players who make up the majority of thread participants? From what I see a far bigger problem is the infestation of participants thinking they are IR reps for the companies. I find those expressing 'negatives' on companies generally far more informed and realistic than the band of cheerleaders accusing any dissenters of ulterior motives.

I really fail to see how anyone could rationally believe that John's posts damaged anyones reputation. Surely everyone reading this forum is capable of understanding the nature of annonymous postings and differentiating between personal opinions, statements made out of frusteration, and real facts.

If the popularity of companies threatening posters continues to increase, scaring participants from making critical posts, surely these forums will cease to provide any usefulness whatsoever. If a company I held shares in decided to put resources into pursuing a poster who hurt managements feelings by calling them a few names I would certainly strongly reconsider my investment,

I wholeheartedly agree with Denise's well written post.
