Just about all posters use aliases, what is suspicious or improper about that?
I use Edgy and it is fairly close to my real name Edward G. ( never mind the last name, I do want some anonymity) and I post a lot ( not much recently here) because I am semi retired therefore have the time to do so.
Now I am frequently on the Noront forum and the folks there take it personally as if the
accusations against Agoracom are like against that forum, That forum is also a great one for the information and opinions it provides. It is no accident that I frequent there now.
I can suspect a conflict of interest if a mining company employee were to post insider or
privileged information on his company's forum but Agoracom employees posting about companies that they represent I do not see as a conflict. It is no different than I posting about a company I like and have invested in.
But last, Whether I post anything or an Agoracom employee posts something about a company - So What? These are just opinions of individuals that should have a right to express them. Does a reader of such a post not have a brain to reason the validity of what he reads? Is he not obliged to take responsibility for his own investing? Does D.D. not mean anything.
The main reason I came to post on Agoracom's forums was because they implemented a degree of control of profanity and abuse against posters. It was not because there was a guarantee of absolute truth and nothing but.
Many of the boards I did frequent are worse but not a word about the behaviour on them.
Yes, this action reaks more like a smear, imho.
