"But these arguments only go one way, don't they?" If this were an argument, the answer would be, "not really." I did read it in its original context, but the fact is that I only asked about it in the context of this thread. If it matters here are the two sentences leading up to the part that I quoted: "It's really quite easy to pick out those who are not here to swap information and opinions, but are just here to influence your decisions. Look for excessive enthuisasm, purported "inside information", a breathless and unrelenting urging to "buy now" or "sell before it's too late"." If I had quoted the above, I would have had to admit I could not, honestly, attribute the "inside information" or the "buy now" type pitches to PT. Certainly PT is enthusiastic, maybe even excessively so, but that is quite relative. On the other hand, I also could not attribute "sell before it is too late" type pitch to you. So, it didn't seem to apply to the two of you nor was I trying to apply it to anyone. If I had considered it applicable to the two of you, I would have pointed out that the BIG difference is that the enthusiasm of an investor seems quite "normal" to me, while a constantly negative stance from a non-investor doesn't seem normal. That might be a bias on my part. LOL BUT...the bottom line is that I never accused or defended you or anyone in my original post. I merely asked if you would agree that the quote was a reasonable statement. It was asked in the context of this thread. Your answer was "nope." Therefore, I would conclude that you would not apply that measure to anyone here. So be it. Bill

Jon, what a bunch of bull! For you even to add ZuluMedia as one of your points attempt to convince us that you actually have said something good about Zulu is a reach. Isn't it? In fact, all three of your points were a reach. But did you write the following: "Most people (though not all) visiting online investment forums are small individual investors. Things that you say here are unlikely to really affect the market, so don't waste your breath touting or slamming a stock because you beleive you can influence the price of a stock. (Although it IS possible in some very thinly-traded stocks.)" Slamming, you wrote? Hmmm. Well, perhaps you should have taken my advice and updated your pitifully out-of-date Stock Club forum (where are the Internet stocks, for example?) rather than pitifully wasting your $70 to $100 an hour time (as computed by the hourly wage of a software architect) on this thread "slamming" the hopes and dreams of innocent investors who are, themselves, perfectly capable of making their own decisions and who perhaps would rather criticize events amongst themselves rather than be forced to respond to your daily heaps of "slamming" Zulu. You criticize me, Jon Tara? Well, visit the other SI thread which I formed, Trinity Energy Resources (TRGC). You don't see me over there communicating with anyone in the same manner I'm forced to communicate with you. Quite the contrary. Over there, we share both positive and negative information. It's called intellectual discourse where minds are open, not closed.
