Maybe because I live under the mistaken assumption that a forum should be open to opposing opinions and that some people actually appreciate to hear opposing opinions to the group-think ones.
I cannot imagine I'm the only person on Hotcopper that doesn't mind downrampers on stocks owned, as long as they give facts and logic. If you only want people that own the stock to comment, you are making a flawed decision, because obviously only people that are positive about the stock will hold it and you will only hear positive things about it.
