SI THREAD INVADERS - For What Purpose? Are They Paid?

An SI Board Since April 2000

Introduction Compact

SI's better than a newspaper!
As much fun as being in Times Square watching The Big Nasdaq Ticker singing doo-wops on the corner in between talking about stocks "When It's Happening" - Usually.
Mostly Nice Folks around here - Individual Investors sharing stock tips, DD ways, experiences, and knowledge Hosted By An Online Community - Silicon Investor.
Profits from Wisdom found here is the only pay for most.
Lately, many "Us Against The Market" Individual Investors on SI have been disturbed by Thread Gameplayers. Multoids. Flamers. Invaders. Nuts. Out Of Context Replies. Uninvited Aliens Controlling Thread Talk. Guh-Hyukkers. Conspicuous Consumptoids. U-Name-Its - Getting In Yer Face.
I think It's A Drag.
Interfering With The Business Of StockThoughts is Childish IMHO ... but realize mine could be a minority opinion.
Starting this thread is my way of getting some answers to this mystery.
In a difficult market stress is acted out cyberly, yes.
But some Profiles show hours & hours devoted to causing willy-nilly disruption on SI.
More than stress would do.
Gotta Ask - Straight Out - To What Purpose?
There's Been Talk.
Is Disruption A Hobby, Or A Gestalt, or.... EMPLOYMENT?
If so, Who Pays 'Em, and What For?
(Suspected Manips, Spammers, Pumper/Dumper Multiods on individual ticker threads are another story)......
THIS IS ABOUT RABBLE-ROUSERS WILLY-NILLYING ALL OVER SI !!
Do You Think It's Fun, or A Waste Of Time?
Are Toontown Arguments and Hyped-Up Nothing Controversies a Draw or a Turnoff for SI Readers/Members??
Is a Morph With Roleplaying Games interesting to Investors?
What do you think?
Maybe if we get LUCKY some FAMOUS SI THREAD FLAMERS will present themselves RIGHT HERE FOR AN INTERVIEW !!!!!
"IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR ITS" ARE WELCOME !!!!
Got LOL compliments to any famous SI thread disruptions?
Got fond or not-so-fond memories of former SI members?
Want to make up and shake hands with anyone on here?
Got complaints about thread flamers?
Got questions about why this happens?
Got insights about origin?
Got links to how they might get paid?
Think some disruptoids might be multoids (screennames)?
Are some active screennames inhabited by different beings?
THIS COULD BE A RING FOR DIVERTING ARGUMENTS FROM THREADS!!
Good Idea, Go Ahead ....
"If The Shoe Fits, Wear It" -
Go Ahead, Grub the #1 post !!
WELCOME ALL
