You already asked a similar question, to which I replied I am not invested in Tesla at all.
May I ask, what is your interest in Tesla Motors then, and why do you take so much time to describe fire risks in this one thread?

He can speak for himself but maybe it's because this is a thread about fires. That's my guess.
Perhaps I should rephrase -- I'm unclear as to why BillHamp showed up during the fires, began posting lengthy, carefully-worded posts about the risks of Tesla fires, and only posts in this thread, in an entire forum dedicated to Tesla Motors. I'm also unclear as to his interest in Tesla Motors. I asked for BillHamp to introduce himself, but it would appear he is unwilling (unable?) to do so.
I'd just like to say he's not obligated to introduce himself and pressing the issue further may get the mods to lay the "smackdown" on you (or at least banish some comments to the snippiness thread). Like Beavis says, if the behavior gets to the point of violating forum policy the mods will handle it and in general it's against forum policy to dig too much on the personal background of members.I asked for BillHamp to introduce himself, but it would appear he is unwilling (unable?) to do so.
Agreed.I'd just like to say he's not obligated to introduce himself
I would like to say (without refering to anyone) that I have been positively surprised from the big amount of tolerance that TMC has with respect to people speaking badly against Tesla on TMC. I think that this happens because TMC is aware of the big technical arguments of Tesla. It's good like this.
All these arguments and multiple threads about fires bring a ton of traffic to the site and unfortunately these seem to be the most popular threads. If there were no Trolls there would be considerably less traffic and therefore bad for the site as a whole. If I were running the site I'd probably allow it to happen too. It's just the economic reality of trying to run a profitable website. It is what it is and I would not expect the owners of the site to make much effort to stop it unless it was waaaaay out of line. As with reality shows, conflict = ratings.
The best thing all of us can do is not respond and simply let these threads die. Unfortunately that would mean letting the bad guys have the last word, but really, who cares if that last word is buried in the archives? Just something to think about, but either way, I think most people are getting pretty bored with the fire talk. The bottom line is that it's simply another type of collision that needs to be fixed at the body shop. Your insurance won't even have to pay for the new battery. It's really no big deal and I can't understand all the hysteria. The worst thing that can happen is that you have to drive a P85+ loaner for awhile.
This is Tesla Motors Club, not Company so we try to be open and not direct discussion either positively or negatively. I think many people can find fanboism as irritating as trolling.
Agree. In fact I meant it as a positive feature of TMC.
It is. And, unfortunately, I've sometimes seen cases where some folks are hardcore fanboys and unwilling to see the other points of view.I think many people can find fanboism as irritating as trolling.
I have no time to participate in the TSLA investing threads anymore, but the impression I got that anyone that has anything negative to say about the stock, it being a momentum stock, about its valuation being nuts, etc. esp. if they're relatively new is likely to be branded as a troll or short seller.
Thing is, there are ways to make money on TSLA w/o being necessarily long or short the stock.Well, you also have to remember that this is a fan site and most of the folks in the investing section are long TSLA because they believe in Tesla's future. It's hard sometimes to understand why someone who wasn't a fan would start posting in that section.
