Interesting discussion because I have had it with many people when they refer to profanity as a tool for the uneducated or where are the decorum boundaries for message boards.
"Again, I'll keep it as clean as possible and remember my role as a moderator, but even I am not immune to the human foibles of a retort when someone so casually posts lies about our company."
There is simply no more powerful verbiage in our language then a well placed "fuck" in any of its grammatical derivatives. It snaps people to attention and can make them really change their entire perspective and focus immediately. However, like any tool of that nature - overuse or complete reliance upon renders it inaffective and then a detriment if not properly used. I
have won many debates/arguments by dropping a well placed fuck somewhere in the middle to bait the opposing person jnto the default "lack of education" statement only to proceed to go through all participles of speech of the word (including the off forgotten gerund phrase) and then ask them to provide a more powerful or useful word in the English language. They cant. More so- since they hedged their credibility on condescension and intellectual superiority - the rest of their argument falls apart.
This same reality can be applied here. Casey is correct. You cant simply ignore them like a petulant child or a ballless bully. They do infect other potential investors, consumers, and dealers which are very detrimental to revenues, brand building, and stock price. However, limited engagement and well timed execution become critical. That is why iGlow is completely ineffective here. He cant used the FUD approach with no pushback and he knows it. His goal is to lure posters back to iLie where they can completely frame the narrative and where the larger (much much larger) # of traders will see the "debate" and conclude $HJOE is not to be invested in.
Every once in awhile- people like that need to be told to fuck off to send a clear message. I think the company is doing that legally right now with their suit avainst KBM. To date, none of the resident bashers have been able to articulate how KBM has been "harmed" by the alledged "breach of contract" by HJOE.
