Your position that a poster's motivation should not be questioned and is irrelevant is so full of fallacies as to be ridiculous. I'll just point out a few.
First of all, what is wrong with telling the truth when it comes to a poster's motive? Is someone hiding the truth? If they are, why? When someone refuses to tell the truth, the vast majority of people have a problem with that. Pretty simple premise, eh?
You say that credibility is determined by the "outcome" of a particular stock. The obvious problem is that the "outcome" is often determined years later. You may think that the "outcome" as to jbii has been determined, but many may disagree. So when something is stated on a message board, readers don't have the benefit of years of hindsight. Thus, the agenda and credibility of the poster is important.
Nobody can force anyone to tell the truth about their motive in attacking (or defending) a company, the company's founder, board of directors, etc. But when somebody spends countless hours on a stock message board bashing a company -- and then runs like a scalded chimpanzee from the simple question of "why?" -- one has to be some sort of congenital idiot not to have serious doubts about what has prompted the comments or opinions. You are not Jack Nicholson and I promise you that "we can handle the truth."
Oh, one last thing. Good luck with purging those systems with hydrogen gas. You're lucky to still be here to be dodging questions.
