Not that ron needs to be defended, but if you`ve been here as long as you say, and can`t spot an obvious basher/hyper such as ron responded to, then you just ain`t been paying attention. People can scream all they want about how new posters are jumped on because they have an unpopular opinion, and I say that`s a bunch of crap. I have NEVER seen someone post a well-thought out negative opinion be attacked for his opinion. It`s the one`s that pretend they have no grasp of the truth (precicia) or the one`s that start out with the negative comments without any supporting argument that get attacked. And rightly so. And ron makes a very valid argument for what he said to the poster he responded to - if you distrust management, if you think everyone is out to cheat you, then why on earth would you want to own this stock? How can you possibly say that that is a well-thought out position? Maybe you guys can start a new board dedicated solely to the people that like to buy stocks that they hate just so they can post negative messages on message boards.
