Personally, I feel that trying to police such an open forum is counter productive. We do not want to go back to the times of Stalin and Hitler. People have different oppinions and shoes to fill. As long as the posts do not attack other posters or are outright lies, I personally have no problem with posts that oppose my views and oppinion.

Dissapointing is a relative word depending on expectations. In this "crackberry' age we all expect instantaneous gratification, but the real world of exploration, winters, assying, etc does not work this way.

I think that for a strong and promising company like Kodiak, a few negative posters do no harm. I would be more concerned if we ban any opposing views, that would be a real sign of weakness.

What I have learned over time is that I can't please everyone, there will always be someone that disagree or do not like me. So what!, if I find that my point of view is the most reasonable, at least in my view, I just ignore them. The gold will be found, sooner or later independent of Chuck's views or not.
