I disagree. If only one side of the question is allowed for discussion, then everyone is going to know only that side. With only one side of the story, there is only a 50% chance that anyone will be able to make an educated choice. I, as a member of the FITX public, want to hear it - the good, the bad, and the ugly. If it turns out that the CEO of this or any company that I own shares in is doing something unlawful or unethical, I would want to know that - if it is true - even if some would call that bashing. If I don't know what is going on, how will I be able to protect my investment? Doing one's due diligence does not mean that one should only look at the happy side and then stop investigating. DD is an ongoing process. I am on this FITX board because I continue to do my DD and I want to hear it all.

When we restrict the things that a person can say, we restrict the things that we will hear and in so doing, we restrict our access to knowledge and potential prosperity. If anyone does not want to hear something, all they have to do is to delete or ignore what was written. As for me, I want the option of hearing everyone's opinion.
