My opinion diverges. I think bans take sometimes too long to happen, there are many members, specially new ones that come here just to spread misinformation. And the same lies or twist keep on repeating and being debunked in the investors threads. And this members keep on getting downvoted, to the point of being ignored by most, but nothing is done, they keep on manipulating the narrative to suit their thesis and proclaiming lies as facts.
I don't have any problem with opposing opinions, and I think that can be useful since it brings discussion to the forums, but those members that you are defending as shorts are just FUD spreaders, they go in circles in order not to address any of the points that are refuted and they keep their discussions one sided since they do not care about their arguments being debunked.
Well this is part of a very unfortunate trend in public discourse where tribalism trumps (no pun intended) facts or any basis of reality. The FUD spreaders harm everyone, because when a rational voice comes along and says, 'hey you know Tesla is an amazing company with an amazing vision, but the odds of long term success are miniscule and here's why...' it gets dismissed along with the idiotic comments.
As the same time, when a rational voice says 'hey Tesla is a company with many issues, not least chronic organizational dysfunction, but it's hugely disruptive and could be the largest car company in the world within 20 years', that comment gets dismissed as fanboyism.
Here's the line... never EVER invest with your emotions. If you love Tesla, adore Musk, and feel anxious when either are criticized, you absolutely should not invest in TSLA.
