Sounds like you have problem with HotCopper with having a sentiment is a basic feature. If you don't want to deal with opinions and only "facts" as you say, then it might be best for you to only read announcements and not engaged in discussion as none of it is verified "fact" but rather opinion and speculation. Positive or negative, same situation.

if a posters sentiment is affecting your decision making in regards to investments, again, probably best to avoid forums.

Having two sides to a discussion is a fundamental basis of this forum.

There is no need to have "skin in the game" to do due diligence about a stock and conclude that you do not think it's good value. Sharing information is why forums exist. Sure some non-holders might be trolls and annoying, ignore them, but it's foolish to ignore purely on the basis of non-holding.
