It is my belief that all posters (shareholders) alike have an equal say in what has a direct impact on their lives. In this case, PTSC's BoD/Management and their actions, decisions or lack thereof (past and present). A democratic forum should be one where all are free to express their individual ideas, humor, sarcasm, etc. or in general their own style of writing.

I will draw the line at Profanity which, by the way, is a part of my own vocabulary. However, it is Agora's rule and should not be tolerated in any language. I am less offended by $#@! but that is a personal opinion. However, even this is a direct violation.

In reading through Agora's Six Rules, I found myself pondering over the bashing/hyping rule as it applies to the passionate posts about BoD/Management. Why do so many posters unconditionally support the BoD/Management? I believe it is because so many others do not. The balance is there if you look for it.

Agora has six rules, however, I found two more at the end of the list of six:

Be good to your fellow members, respect their opinons and understand there will be different levels of posting

Otherwise, kiss our privacy statement goodbye as we hand out your address and phone number to everyone you piss off.

Is "Piss" a violation of Agora's own rules? I think it is hysterical and would never ban a poster for saying as much.

Some people need to get out of their own way.
