A little friction on a Forum is often a great catalyst for some great discussion and should not be discounted perhaps ….just thinking out loud here …. thoughts?A good point ... unless you get trolled 30 times as I did on one thread. Making a judgement on how someone is dealing with say denial the earth is round verses it being flat is, what it is. When 99% believe in one case and your say discussing how beautiful the ROUND earth is, and that's the title of the thread, when someone comes in time and time again professing its FLAT, the earth ... and your presented time and time again with, well ... rubbish to get a rise is a favorite game trolls play.Its not an intellectual discussion ... or a non meeting of the minds, its a game most of the time. Others may be faith based beliefs, others, when we are talking about history and factual history of say where a currency or stock was 1 year ago, even that at times is food for trolls.Not sure their is a solution and to agree to disagree is fine, but when its a deliberate as it is at times presentation of non factual stuff, to support their case, something written by say tobacco and its benifits from the 1960's or even Uranium in the recent times and most publications come from lobby groups, today's world is complex.I spent some time on various issues and say in 2007 shared 25 years of research and background on Nuclear stuff. Only to get back as gospel the USA Nuclear Industry lobby group stuff as being factual or even close to it. No amount of reason, pictures, reports, would change the stream of non factual pro Uranium stuff.Quite often, this is the case. We look at a stock. Where do we get our information from ? Brokers ? Or can you pull apart a financial report and compare it to others in the industry ? As we sadly know, or should, most brokers and economists are awful advisors. Their job is to make money.In 2000 as the NASDAQ peaked and there were over 8,000 stocks I think ... there were a mere 5 sell recommendations. It peaked at 5,000 and lost 70% prior to coming back, but a lot went bust.Difficult the balance between the two on any chat room. I started in the industry in 1983 and WHAT I don't know ... is more than I ever knew. What I thought I knew .... DECREASES as time goes on. Some things however, are clearer with experience the hard way.When someone takes the time to troll you just for kicks and put the opposing opinion, not theirs, not their 30 hours pulling apart say a USA payroll number or GDP one, but a cut and paste of some media article which will disagree with your effort, after a while and ... it takes a while .. even I get annoyed.I am not selling anything, sharing something ... for free ... I don't need or want anything. But its makes someones day complete to do it not just to me, but I do take the time with pests, to follow what they do on not just one thread but over a site and they are doing it on every thread they are on.Internet is I suppose like that. We get all types and I must be more tolerant !!Sorry for the ramble, but not sure we can cure any of it. Whilst I must be more tolerant, being baited and trolled is another matter. Sorry but opinions are opinions ... facts are facts ... the world is actually round.Cant say that about many things and when someone said things that made me sick and made my skin crawl after Auckland .... Yep I told them so !! Guilty as charged. I was not baiting them, I was not angry. Just disgusted.I must be more tolerant !! And use the ignore. Even in some disgraceful deliberate wind ups, I learnt a lot and thanked them for it at end of the discussion. Even flat earthers one can learn what makes them tick if they are just not pure trolls trying to get a bite whilst appearing to be polite.A casual look or glance at a topic that has become more heated ... and you likely miss the sneaky smiling windups going on frustrating those trying to debate on an intelligent level being bombarded with theories about how flat the earth is. OR some even more topical beliefs we all have about religion and race and gender.Some topics ... outside stocks are relevant ... energy .. tax ... trade ... and so on. Battery technology or various forms of energy and so on. Sadly a lot of other things come into play with even ordinary stocks. Monetary and fiscal policy ... which brings politics and so on ...All too hard .... will try and play nice.
