I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting sick and tired of reading post after post of complaints and attacks about people suggesting BUY's or SELL's of shares. If anyone is stupid enough to gamble their mortgage without doing any research then that?s their own silly thought. This is the internet, people may not always be truthful (FACT). Let?s try and return this Forum to discussion about ideas and opinions on shares - otherwise it will ruin the service and make it pointless.
If anyone wants to moan, then I suggest you add your comments here or on a new topic titled "bitching", otherwise please keep EPIC related topics to share subjects. Or alternatively just don't read from this Forum. I for one would like to continue using the service in a way it?s supposed to be used.
I don't seek to offend anyone, but can we be adults.
Cheers,
skids

I AGREE - 100 per cent.
On a separate issue.I usually only post todays latest news - in 1/2 lines.
Is everyone happy with these 1/2 liners ?

Thought I'd bring this to the top of the BB to remind some that we're here to discuss shares. And as pointed out by BullShare there are rules for using the Forum/BB, so please try and stick to them (see above - you may need to expand All Messages). If you have nothing constructive to say then say nothing.
Thank you.

HI...just come across this discussion and fully agree with the views stated ,otherwise this board will quietly cease to be a useful tool for all investors.
If you are into horse racing look at tipster sections of boards on horse racing for real bitching and nastiness,then you will see the futility of posting messages.
Regards,
Wansford

I come on to these boards to hopefully help me make some money. I expect boards to be a 'pooling' of knowledge and views, with a bit of light hearted banter thrown in. I don't want to waste my time reading through slanging matches to see if there are any snippets of news contained therein. I don't look at ADVFN any more because of this reason. I look at Money AM less than before for this reason, and the offenders have the habit of following certain people around all the boards; so eventually there will be nowhere that I will bother to go. Before I started trading, I assumed most day traders were intelligent, responsible and adult-minded people. WHAT A SHOCK!

Well said Linzi, it appears a certain nasty element from sharecrazy have followed me over here, and of course we have the thirdeye known on all boards for his spoiling tactics. Best to stick to positive share debating and making money. Nasty comments of yesterday are not needed.
cheers GF.
ps, your back any better yet?.

All,
I hope we can all continue to debate and discuss shares in a healthy manner. I hate seeing my local community being dragged down by a small minority, and the same can be said for Internet BB/Forums. I'm not saying don't express your opinion, but pls express your view in an adult manner and except we're all different.
Many thanks to everyone for comments on this thread.
cheers

Harmony -harmony -harmony!!!
thats all we need to get on with our trading (its stressful as it is).We can express our opinions on trades good or bad -but it must be in a civil manner not a vindication. Many times a contrary view can help as we end up with "woods for the trees syndrom"
As i say "let every bird sing its song"
