If you really want to see how bad it can get, check out the Brinker thread on suite101.com Part of the reason there are so many people there that are negative towards Brinker is because they have been booted off Brinker's site so they come to the other free site to vent. Many others, including myself, have just been treated poorly by him or his followers and go where they can vent freely. Justa always treated me fairly in the past until I posted some information that Brinker didn't like. I refused to remove it until Justa asked "Don Lane" to apologize for calling me "scum of the earth" for reposting his "7 steps to critical mass". Justa refused and got mad at me for requesting this and then Justa turned openly negative towards me. Fine. I don't post on his new thread as I voted with my feet. Back to critics and why you let them have their say... I've found that they have their say and tone it down after awhile. People are free to ignore them and many do. We even have some that have become friends debating the issues. this is a recent debate between Will (the biggest basher) and Steve (our biggest bear) and I hardly call it out of place. suite101.com Will was booted from Brinker's site so he posts a great deal . Again, Brinker is relevant to this topic as many buy and sell AMAT based on his radio show talk. He is speaking of "multiple compression" as I type saying the range is between 15 to 25 for p/e and the low end is a good buy. He is strongly implying now that it is a good time to sell AMAT to the clueless that don't know it is a cyclical stock that will go down soon. How he acts and treats critics is part of his credibility.
