Nice language here, again. Really degrades the thread and the conversation. In case you didn't check it out, this was the link provided for your benefit by the previous poster:
<<There are three major types of bashers: advanced, intermediate and beginner. An advanced basher would spread false or misleading information about the company. They would deal in facts, countering every long post with articles, news reports, and opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company. An intermediate basher tries to weasel their way into the confidence of longs and create doubt using rumor or innuendo. Finally, a beginner basher would attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name calling and pointless arguments. Their goal is to make sure no serious discussion of the stock takes place.
Bashers go about their job very professionally. First, they develop a character to build both awareness and trust from others on the chat board. Bashers are careful to never to use profanity or vulgarity because that would cause people to ignore them. Quite often they will answer posts in a way that ridicules the questioner for asking such a "stupid" question. The idea is to get a reaction from other posters. The more reaction, the more the room will be disrupted. To throw yet another monkey wrench into the mix, bashers often send in another person to side with the longs of a stock. The idea behind this is to again to distract people and spread rumors and confusion throughout the room. >>
Just so you know, you, too, have been added to the 'ignore' list so save your breathe for any more vile nitwit name calling. |
