Re: Becoming emotionally involved

You talk about Tech Master being emotionally involved with ALYD as if it were some big revelation. If it took someone summarizing his posts to make you realize that then you really need to ask yourself if reading internet stock-talk sites such as this is really a good idea for you.

Every thread has people who are cheerleaders. Every thread has people who are naysayers. And every thread has people who don't give a damn about the company as long as it goes up or down depending on their position. I really hope this is not another revelation for you.

The most insidious individuals are the ones who use unethical means to further their agenda. These are the people who post under a variety of names to give the allusion that others are validating their point of view. These are the people who are paid by competitors of a particular company in order to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.

With Tech Master you know where he stands. Read his non-ALYD/Y2K related posts and then judge his credibility. Ask yourself why he is widely followed on the Stock Swap thread, where he mostly talks about stocks other than ALYD. Then ask yourself why a "variety" of people see fit to personally attack him. Might he have struck a nerve? Might he have uncovered something illicit going on? Why are people sending him threatening hate mail?

There's more here than meets the eye. If that clouds your vision then I suggest you shop around SI for a thread where everyone is nice and friendly and use Roberts Rules of Order to debate the issues.
