I agree with what you said. Over the last 6 months

With many people not knowing how to manage their risks and entry points, most here are holding thousands upon thousands of dollars of losses which in reality, if one educated themselves and stopped listening to certain entities on here, they wouldn't be in the unfortunate position they're in today.
1. I tried countless times to express information in a constructive manner and why it would be best to purchase shares at lower levels but yet, my posts were deleted.
2. I tried putting my words in a respectful manner which can educate people so they can think of themselves but yet, my posts were deleted.
3. I tried explaining till my face turned purple to why it wouldn't be wise to just buy a random price levels but yet, my posts were deleted.
4. Yes, some of the posts I've said were maybe a little funny or sarcastic, and I'll at least be open to admit that to everyone here so if one wants to delete those, go ahead if that makes you happy or makes you sleep better at night.
I mostly would say those types of things to counter ridiculous statements that I'm very confident other people have seen over these last few weeks/months.
I came to conclusion that based on my posts that were deleted and many, many, other peoples posts that were deleted, this board is not designed to have people think for themselves, but rather have people here to just follow information and become yes men and not ever question the company's actions no matter how potentially detrimental those actions can be for current share holders.
If you can't think for yourself, you'll never make any meaningful amount of money in the stock market; you'll simply be a follower looking for hot stock picks and gambling your money away. That is not a strategy; that is simply hoping that maybe some of the information you research or was passed upon you will give you some sort of profit in the end.
And yes, you may get lucky and may make some profit off a stock pick. However, as the old saying goes:
"If you play with fire, eventually you'll get burned."
I also get this question a lot: "Why are you trying to help people?" Well, I don't know other people, but when you reach a level of success, I think it's your duty to pay it forward and help others the best way you can so that way they don't necessarily make the same mistakes you've done in the past and so they're better prepared for the future.
People, educate yourselves.
