BRN Discussion Ongoing

[HopalongPetrovski]

I hate to say this but sometimes i wonder whether on the other forum downrampers are forum staff on the more popular threads keeping discussions going by sucking in genuine posters. Paid Advertisers like large numbers of clicks.
I am not making accusations i am just wondering.

I am sure they are which is why I was constantly amazed at how intelligent people were continually sucked into long drawn out interactions with them providing oxygen and relevance to their dribble. Unfortunately "disappearing" them with the ignore function tended to make many threads unintelligible.

Sometimes i thought if we go back to hc, We could at least become the Most discussed stocks and constantly generate top rated posts. Although there's a lot of trolls in the forum, but at least we are exposed to the public a lot more that way.

Besides, if most investor tend to read sentiment from hc a lot more, that the lack of positive or balanced view makes the sentiment look a lot worse than it actually is. That could potentially turn away many potential investors in that regards.

I maybe completely wrong, but just some honest thoughts. Why do we walk away from the battle to stock bashers. shouldn't we. I admire what uiux and some other posters have being. Taking the effort fighting back the stock bashers. But we need more quality voice over there...

I have no desire to be part of a criminal enterprise.

I have friends who are in Kyoto or get their tomorrow. Japan must be the new travel black or are you all over there spying on the newly appointed Brainchip sales executives.

I thought about hanging around outside a few places and asking where the person working on Brainchip is. The people are so lovely I swear they'd go out of their way to find out and let me know. It's a great place to test my post-Covid wings and started with some skiing. I was hoping BRAINCHIP (so now I'm not off topic...lol) would start paying for future trips but looks like the best I can do is get to the AGM on my BRN shares at the moment. Looking forward to meeting people though.

Hi Stan,

I like the sentiment and uiux does a great job of defending Brainchip over there. As you may notice though, the stock bashers never give uiux meaningful or knowledgeable replies.

The stock bashers unfortunately are not on HC to have a reasoned debate to better understand Brainchip. They are generally there for one sole purpose - downramping (for whatever reasons, I'm not sure). If people want to waste time defending Brainchip, then be my guest. I would prefer to spend my time here, where research and sharing dots is the primary focus rather than pointless arguments. I benefit from this community (mostly - the discussion about SP does nothing for me personally). I am grateful for the generous sharing that occurs here and try my best to contribute when possible. Research on HC gets lost in the mix VERY quickly with absolute dribble.

If small fry retail aren't aware of us yet of there own accord, let them be late to the party and have an expensive entry once Brainchip blow up. Spreading the word won't benefit us as manipulation is controlled by the 'big boys' and having a few more potential investors on board won't change that.

@Steve10 when Qualcomm revealed their Snapdragon with Prophesee at CES, the blur free photography contribution was not from Brainchip even though many of us thought it was. Therefore it must have been Synsense. Round one to Synsense although there are many rounds to play out over coming years.

Hey, could you elaborate on how you know it was not brainchip, and why it has to be synsense.

You’ll find yourself banned if you don’t just message me about it, rather than posting it here, because it’s not relevant to BRN. Someone might report your comment now and Dreddb0t will act. Some people just aren’t getting it. How can I speak clearer?

Your joke was about a six pack of nuggets, or wanting one, and that’s it. Which is “fine” except that it wasn’t really on topic nor did it add a great deal of value otherwise.

I don’t take personal issue with it, but someone did, and it doesn’t fly with the rules. I’m not sure why you take it out on me?

Like I said before, Dreddb0t acts on a reported post and it deals with them in accordance with the rules as if it were the last thing it was ever to do. That is it’s function and it will enforce the rules on behalf of those who report them.

The easy solution is to post valuable comment that does not violate the rules.

Not taking it out on you. Just asking if that is really the case, that posts are being removed for a bit of banter.

Also, it had nothing to do with nuggets but that's not important..

Also, missed the memo about PMing you. I don't read every post. Will do so in the future.

 

[HopalongPetrovski]

Hey Guys.
Let's all please take it easy with each other and Zeeb0t in particular at the moment.
None of us knows what anyone else is dealing with at any given time and whilst the BRN share price is in the crapper we are all perhaps subject to some extra level of stress.
We have developed a really great community and resource here. Let's be supportive of each other. We'll all be rich soon enough.
