Absolutely, I've been lambasted severely for attending a thread after deciding (without any assistance from them) to buy into a stock because I believe it has merit to make profit for me, only to be told off by people who have been hovering around for years then suddenly I'm the "pump and dump brigade" who can solely manipulate the market for my own good and destroy a company on my way out! I chose to be proactive, if they chose blind loyalty over making a profit that's fine too, no need to get up me!
