Here, "Have you not noticed some of the malicious attacks that have occurred on SI against those who dare to hold contrary views?" What is coming down to is this, When the benefits no longer outweigh the liabilities, the game is over. You like playing a game you can't win? As a result, SI and the rest of the public message boards will see less participation from investment professionals, because in the end, if there is no financial benefit, then to be exposed to liability just to, " set the record straight", isn't going to be enough of a reason to have to fight with the detractors, reverse shills, and those that plain just dont want to see your company succeed because they have a better product than the one your, ( they), are invested in. As a result, I am starting a private message thread for the company I am working for at ramcapitalmanagement.com As I already have an active private database, these people already don't object to their email addresses being valid. This way I can monitor the posts and erase the one's that are clearly violative of the codes and standards that should be applied to all. I am not going to wait for SI or Yahoo or Raging Bull, or anyone of them to clean up their act; they ain't gonna do it until they are forced to either by the courts or their mounting legal bills to defend the anonymity of trouble makers.

Nice Find Cisco, I like that quote. The people are speaking on SI. Sure, some of it is hype, some of it it forward looking ( very forward looking ) , some of it is designed by the spinsters to give people a warm and fuzzy feeling, everybody has a Agenda. The Agenda of the paid promoter that frequents these threads is to advance the company they are working on. Where the problem lies is that in the age of Instant Gratification, People start asking questions, digging for dirt, maybe get caught in the "Warm and Fuzzy feeling" stage, and when the price drops they want to know why. Start prying for answers. This Makes the paid promoter upset, because How dare these Lowly Peons ask questions. How dare they spoil the plan. The paid promoter starts to look bad, gets down right nasty on times. Starts Launcing legal action attacks. The company stock is not going up, the company wonders why they are paying the promoter to create a uproar. People start asking many many questions, more join the fray. I think this is a public board, and the Companies who hire paid promoters to come on SI or any other Message board who can not stand up to the heat start crying foul. I think the paid promoters should not under any circumstance engage the public on these threads. JMO
