This forum / site has become far too toxic for me, i am all for heated balanced debate on investment ideas / theory's, but some members of this site have become angry, offensive & nasty.
Can anyone recommend a more civilized site i can use
Thanks all
Thanks Parsley, i will try it.
cheers
Just filter....
It's easier said than done Chartz, you just get a barrage of insults with no real value in the thread. Very difficult to follow what's going on, if everyone who's genuinely trying make comments put on a filter, then fine, otherwise it doesn't work. Have a look at the personal attacks that I've received.
See Chartz - this is the level of abuse that is being dished out by some board members (prior to what you perceived as large number of posts). It's disgraceful.
parry400, I am not sure if Cannacord will actually target cineworld.
Most of the abuse comes from people who hold long positions are are trying to protect their holdings by making personal attacks at those who's opinions hurt their financial interests. It's fair poor conduct and unfortunately popular on this site. In my view people who stand by and watch it happen are equally to blame. It could even be argued more to blame. Usually people who make personal attacks have some sort of personal problem. Whereas those standing by don't and just choose to ignore the behaviour.
Correction popular on the CINE thread - I haven't seen a mob mentality like this on any other thread so far to the extent it is evident here. Again I believe the reason is too many people hear are holding at a loss, and this is the way they are choosing to handle that.
Ocean, I am not sure if you are even aware of it, but you have this real knack of coming across as a complete ****, I think that is everyone’s issue.
Typically the trait of bragging about ones own successes whilst trying to point out other people’s potential mistake or flaws is a self defence mechanism for ones own insecurities...
Interesting incite, although I haven't bragged and my comments are almost always in reply
oceanpassage - I understand. When you get 20 people just ganging up with abusive language, then you are going to reply. Because you respond, you get told you post too much and it's bickering. Best just to report as abusive.
Crumpet - mind your language using the c word.
@Oceanpassage - that’s complete bolox, just read back your own comments from our perspective... you can simply apologise for being a knob and it’ll be water under the bridge!
@Ocean.
Who hurt you?
Genuinely I feel sorry for those who make personal attacks it demonstrates a loss of self control. But again if you are even tempered enough act like a child then should be able to call out those making personal attacks. It's a shame people have to leave because this behaviour is openly tolerated.
Ocean, I feel sorry for them as well - it gives a new comers to the board a clear indication that money has been lost by many on this stock. If more of you were cheerful and positive, this could be a very different board.
At crumpet.
No one.
But personal attacks that are constantly made on this website , and which have been raised by several members now are observable.
It's a shame people leave this thread because this.
Come on Ocean, you mass spam this site with any possible thing to de-ramp this share, every day. None of that is in response.
It can’t be nice being one of the most disliked posters on here.
I am sure your response will be “I am not here to make friends”, but why we a part of a BB just to p/as everyone off.
I actually like opposing views, it’s a great sanity check against BS rampers but you really do seem to get a kick out of just being a tw@/.
Holy moly stop wasting Internet bandwidth and stop bickering, I'm trying to reduce my Minecraft ping thanks
ily
Nah pink - just calling out the behaviour that is making people leave, as above x
@Ocean.
Really? You're not hurt?
Cos your posts really come across as sad and bitter.
What other reason can you have for posting comments hoping that other people fail?
And @JohnT, it's not an attack when you fight back in self defence.
At least I'll openly call this loser out (or looser) as for exactly what he is.
PInk your probably a lot cleverer than me. Why don’t you just filter the guy. Seriously it’s worth it. Good luck to you.
Relaxed and profitable. Happy to call out disruptive behaviour
@Crumpet mate. The short positions won't effect you. Literally ask any serious investor or analyst out there. They will tell you, it doesn't make a two bit difference.
@Ocean I'm glad you're standing up to the abuse. Just report the foul language - it's just inappropriate and it gives this board a bad name.
I continue to be an advocate for mixed opinions :)
I have defended people on hear from those fairly disgraceful behaviour and I will continue to.
Sorry if you are holding at a loss right now. But it's your mistake to own
I must admit - I used to read this site for general information and amusement. I really can’t understand why anybody would take joy on others losing money. I also can’t understand why anybody would spend all day posting negative comments - literally all day. Very very odd
