Good post, and I've kind of waited for that for a while, (i.e ths content/topic you have raised).
What you've said is "Why can't he post his views"?. I totally say "Yes" he can and should be able to have his views and post them. And that's the entire point really. EVERYBODY should be free to post up their views whether positivr or negative or neutral regarding the share in question. They should be free to do that without being abused, insulted, derised, labelled a MM or a trader or a low life looking for a cheap entry and so on. WHat is evident about some posters on this board is that those basic rights are being abused. Certain posters only want THEIR views being posted and can't handle other people's views being posted without resorting to the aforementioned abuses and insults and accusations. Supposedly, I am still a MM or trader (which I'm not), supposedly I'm only here to deramp and get the SP down so I can enter cheaply (which I'm not). You see how all this is?
It's ultimately childish and purile and smacks of inability to converse politely and maturely and to respect and tolerate all viewpoints.
One other point you mentioned was about Harold posting "Facts" and I noted that you wrote that word in quotes. At times Harold does NOT write facts, he writes suppositions and embellishes the facts for his own ends. Hence "There have been 5/6 take over offers and " "we've had T/O offers of 2p" and so on. These are not facts. The real statements regarding these take overs I've had to post but of course I get constant abuse and derision for doing so. We get posts stating that RIIG is a new company set to turn around the old Claims People company, but then the facts reveal that RIIG actually IS Claims People Group PLC , a company that was set up in 2000. It's not new at all, neither is the management team. I won't go on. It's pointless.
Bottom line, all views must be tolerated and respected without resort to insult and abuse. Posts OUGHT to be factual but it's a free platform so I guess people will always try to embellish the truth. That's fine but if such people are found and exposed and their data publicly corrected, once again people should be free to do that without being lambasted on the board. That's all I ask.
