If investors are allowed to talk about it, then why are not we? And are not many of us investors ourselves?


Nothing wrong with talking about it, but reading the comments it seems like everyone is piling on.

I get it, people don't like Groupon, but some of this is less based in rationale than in emotion/personal disdain for the product.


Example?


Look at the entire comment chain. Many of the comments don't even address the post itself, but their personal feelings of Groupon.


You are delusional. Everyone here but you is discussing business plan viability and questionable accounting. Both of which are exactly what the article is about.


OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but my original point remains - the investors have to share some of the blame here.
