What percentage of comments contain personal insults according to chatGPT?16 Dec 2025 12:49
I’ve counted posts that attack a person rather than their argument, e.g.:
Calling someone mentally unwell (“sick person”, “needs a mental health practitioner”)
Name-calling (“numbskull”, “numpties”, “brainwashed”, “troll”, “split personality”)
Mocking intelligence or motives rather than addressing facts
I did not count:
Harsh criticism of management (e.g. “KC must go”, “incompetent CEO”)
Sarcasm aimed at ideas or predictions
General frustration without targeting an individual
Rough numbers from the excerpt you posted
Total posts in this snapshot: ~120–130
Posts containing clear personal insults: ~20–25
That puts it at roughly:
≈ 15–20% of posts contain personal insults
Who they’re aimed at
Skelly85 is the most frequent target
KC (CEO) is the most frequent subject of criticism (often harsh, but not always personal insults)
Insults come from both bulls and bears, not one side exclusively
Pattern worth noting
Insults spike during missed or disputed timelines (DFS dates, funding risk)
Technical or factual posts (links, EIA info, lithium chemistry discussion) are mostly insult-free
Threads polarise quickly: once name-calling starts, replies escalate fast
Bottom line
This board is argument-heavy and emotionally charged
About 1 in 5 posts cross into personal insult territory
The majority (≈80%) are still arguments, opinions, or information, even if blunt
