RE:BB Stockhouse evolving into BB Facestock means fewer readers Go to another forum? Not everyone focuses on the practical aspects of the SM. Leaving the abstract out of the equation is like saying, if you're emotional then don't bother participating. Contribution comes in many forms and I for one, won't be swayed by someone who may think everyone from a CEO to a minor shareholder doesn't possess an ego or are incapable of behavior unbecoming their profession or status. A SM forum or even the SM itself without emotion, misbehavior or the anecdotal? Read an analyst report lately? Can't prove it but I think you're dreaming my friend.
I don't know how anyone can sit there and be the judge of what's practical and conforming to their interpretation of what is permissable. Unless you're the owner who regulates then all you have is an opinion as to what's allowed. Subject to a thumbs up, down, indifference or rebuttal. Holier than thou descriptions and go someplace else instructions are what? For someone who is all about the nuts and bolts, its a deviation from norm and ironically, emotionally charged as well.
So maybe next time it may be wise to heed your own advice. Personally I don't care but if you want to critical of me or someone of similar ilk, even subtly, I'm prepared to slam back. I will however encourage your participation.
