Come on GWR, lol:
"I don't know why this is such as issue for some on the Stockhouse board", an old veteran of Sh with many bruisers to his cradit does not know why???

It matters not as to what, or about whom you said anything, you stood out out of the crowd and had to be bashed over the shins, that was the issue. Topics had little to do with it.
A clasic case of paid bashers for I can not see for the life of me any ordinary posters behaving in such a manner. The lowest of the low have more class, honour and self dignity.
Enough of the 'Bashing' of the bashers, we have better things to do.

By the way why does this name ring a familiar tone - ESL?
Ditto to the welcome.
