"What does giving good advice have to do with being moral? In my opinion, suggesting that those silly enough to mortgage their homes, take their retirement funds and the college funds of their children, money from credit cards, etc. to invest in any penny stock is not prudent. Advising someone against doing so was a good thing to do. I was happy to back greeneyes on that one"
We are talking about a situation in which the damage was already done - people may have put more into ptsc than they should have. So your advice, while sage advice, doesn't necessarily apply to the situation. You ignore ease's request to curb the enthusiasm as people may get the impression that ptsc is a sure thing. Whether you want to call it pumping or not, to try to convey this impression is not good, and yes, IMO, immoral because it is absolutely misleading - nothing, including ptsc's future success, is a sure thing. Twist it any way you want, but if you can't see how posts refusing to look at the potential downside are just not right, then I guess I just misjudged you and greeneyes as posters.
