"The hub leaders have been so overwhelmed by the sheer volume and vehemence of this unbecoming behaviour, that I believe that they are at a loss as to how to control it and perhaps have even given up. You will note that they are conspicuous by their abscence. I admit that I am giving up and will be taking a hiatus from this forum."
This site has become something of a social media device and is used for other purposes in addition to it's original intent. Now, there are many agendas behind the posts from the array of participants that visit here. I have had some experience with participants on parallel modes of communication on something of a mental health capacity and I think that it might help to be reminded that not all who participate here are functioning well, nor do they necessarily use this site for investment purposes. There are those, referred to as users in some circles, that use devices like Agoracom for personal interaction. So, aside from those that have malevolent intent, paid for or not, be advised that the picture may be even bigger than that.
It is also a good idea to get away from posting here for better balance on all levels.
