Ebster,
You seem like a nice guy. Misguided, but nice.
There is no Koolaid. That is an ignorant statement.
There is free flow of news and analysis.
No one is shouted down. That has never happened here.
SHU was founded as an exodus from YAZOO.
We founders wanted a private MB and yielded to our host to keep it public. An educational forum.
Membership was scrutinized by 3 gatekeepers and many were denied membership. Think YAZOO liars.
Those gatekeepers caught tons of grief by those which wanted 'open borders' for members.
Eventually membership has been nearly automatic to all. This has created problems.
SHU was founded as a place with rules and membership rights and responsibilities. not a support or group hug forum.
Rule #3 forbids whining and there is and has been too much of that by too few people.
Some of us, me included, have no tolerance for whining. It doesn't matter what it's labeled by those whining, if it's whining it's whining and it should not/cannot be tolerated.
Those people lash out when called out for breaking the rules designed to make SHU function.
All should re-visit and re-apply the rules to their posting.

Rules of the Board
My Friends:
We have a good thing going here at SHU, something that we need to continue to foster and grow. As such, below are the rules of the forum, designed to provide stability and a safe enviroment for posters. Failure to follow the below rules may be just reason to revoke your shareholdersunite user account with no questions asked.
Respect - All members of this board (most every human being actually) deserve to be treated with respect at all times. Personal attacks will absolutely not be tolerated.
Identities - All identities on the board are considered private and are not to be shared outside of this forum without the consent of the individual.
Whining - IOC is a long term stock investment that most definitely has risk. On top of this, there are indications that the PPS is manipulated by the short interest. As a result there will be delays, unexpected events and pps volatility. Whining about these things serves no purpose and will not be tolerated.
Disagreements - Inevitably there will be disagreements between posters. Pointing out your side of the story is very acceptable and encouraged. But it is possible that the disagreement will reach a stalemate - at which point the parties will have to agree to disagree and drop the matter.
Stick to the Facts - This forum is not intended to be for the "pumpers" or the "bashers". There will be both positive and negative events over the upcoming months and both are encouraged to be posted, discussed and dissected.
Posting on Other Boards – Once you are a member of the SHU board, your posts on other boards are, in a small way, representing this forum. Please use respect and refrain from using the “Us vs Them Mentality”.
Thanx everyone for making this a valuable and fun community!
Health and Happiness,

'Together we are stronger' can only be true if we collectively follow the rules.
There are 3 other private MBs on IOC which most here are unaware of. They work well and they are slow nowadays due to the lack of 'news'. That is how SHU should be. As of now, SHU is kind of worth fighting for, but barely.
