Well I appreciate all the good posts but it seems to me that there is too much animosity among some of the longs. IMHO they/we do most of the damage on the forum.

We have a forum that is divided. Posters left this forum in disgust some time ago. Many said they would never post here again. Now the only time you see some of them leave their private forums is when they see something they perceive as negative by someone they may not like or who has a different slant on a specific issue.

Not a week goes by that I am not baited into brawl and it's usually by a long from a private forum. So long as this type of nonsense happens, this forum will have problems. I come to that conclusion because the kaos on the forum opens the doors for those with real bad intentions.

If everyone and I mean everyone was on the same page, things would be different. I see that some of our very well respected posters have come to the forum. Milsy to leave and Canseco to try and reason.

We are in a great position here with more than one play that most of us are invested in. Its fun to micro view the situation and cheer for NOT or another but in the end it is the ROF that we are invested in. The Ring of Fire and there are many plays involved. All of the info from any of these plays is relevant to all of us and should be posted here as well as the other forums.

The idea of the forum is to share information.IMHO. We all should be doing that and the sp should really be irrelevant during exploration. Unfortunately this is not the case. I think too many have learned how to day trade now.

I have been of the mindset that we are here to promote our company. Can someone tell me when "promotion" turns to "pumping"? Is there a line?

And when does a complaint on the forum re the company turn into a bash? To my mind these are not pumps and bashes but more like honest concerns and many of us have posted this way out of frustration at times. But these posts are the ones that give a "basher" the fuel required to expand and dig at the weakness shown.

I hope you all can get things in order. A lot of work went into this forum.
