I don't gather my information from Hot Copper, full stop. And I would advise others to do the same.

Thing is, it isn't about "only positive posting". It is about the forums not being filled with BS.

If you haven't noticed, real interested parties that have a valid question come and ask the question and thank posters for their response.

There is a HUGE difference between that and the posters that come on making BS claims and statements as fact, most of which are entirely made up.

In the end no-one comes here and spends time here just because they have nothing better to do. There is ALWAYS an agenda to someone's posting. The sooner you realise that, the sooner you see through all the BS.

My agenda? To make sure that BS doesn't go unchecked as I have much invested here. If there is a claim that I have a different view on, expect to hear it. As you say, people need all perspectives.
