...Very very odd. Who are these people and why do they come here?
Well, here's a start. I rarely comment on investment here, because it's simply too close to my day job. (Or rather, it was before I retired.) When I'm off duty, I'd rather chat about cars or DIY or culture, or crack a few dodgy jokes, than get embroiled in the finer aspects of investment situations where others might have perfectly valid ways of looking at things but they probably won't like mine. .
What I do appreciate on these boards is the high calibre of critical thinking that you tend to find among investor types in general. Of course, there are some who get on their high horses and rant endlessly about some political cause, and there are some who become abusive or dismissive without good reason, but my foe list contains only one person at present. That's a pretty good ratio, I think.
