It's certainly possible for someone to respond in a less than adult-like fashion when frustration or anger wells up, however, it should be noted that this type of behaviour is likewise used by politicians, professional manipulators and socio/psychopathic personalities but for different reasons, (not that I'm making any associations between the aforementioned) to distract and redirect attention. It's interesting how those who outline the "truth" as they see it, when challenged, immediately resort to the "woe is me" tack and decry how they've been dealt a bad hand and immediately go on the offensive instead of saying "thanks, but I don't agree with you and here's why..".....without the attitude. Meanwhile the subject seems to illude us as the situation becomes personal. As I've said before, everything produced should be looked at with magnification including anything I've ever posted, as the majority of it is simply an opinion... no less than anyone else's.

It's quite likely that most of our conflicts come from needing to be right which involves not wanting to hear the things that may show us to be in error. When we need to be right we don't notice nor do we want to notice the need to take appropriate actions to perform damage control because we've.....been wrong.

Now, because misery loves company, one should take special note of the posts that pose negative views, though they may contain truths, as they are not always offered with objectivity nor benign intent. I could state that "NOT has had serious problems maintaining an sp representitive of it's value" or I could say "NOT really sucks and I don't trust the management because all they care about is themselves and the heck with us retail investors....I sure wish R.N. was at the helm." Now, granted, anyone could feel this way but it also makes it very easy to manipulate and sway investors as I know it has. So, it behooves each individual to actively filter out the baggage from a post and determine what is left. We are inundated with manipulation from every aspect of our lives and most have gotten so they don't even notice it. My message is to not passively respond, but to actively respond to that which confronts you from what ever media you are hit with. Question everything and assume someone wants something from you.
