Attacking your family here

[Timothy W.]

I've seen this a couple times and I find it a bit disconcerting. What I have seen is where people either disagree with family or are dissatisfied with something their family believes or does, whatever - and choose this as the forum to go after their family. There was one time where someone didn't like the way his dad thought about investing and proceeded to trash his dad. There has been trashing of in-laws. There are other examples that don't immediately spring to mind but can be found here with a bit of research.

Folks, that's low class behavior. If you don't like how family believes or acts, that's what other family members and closes OFF LINE friends are for. This is a very public, search-able forum where someone who lives in the community of your trashed family member can find out what you are saying and create unnecessary gossip and heartache for them and by default - for you.

With the exception of 2 rooms that act as a "break room", this is an international professional business/investing forum. Never forget that this forum has received national media attention and we represent ourselves poorly to new investors, non-investor observers and international investors when family dirt is drug into the office here. If you have a problem with family - take it to a counselor or your minister. When you come here, drop the family drama - it's business here.
