Yesterday I was told that a man called Ben had called someone who stopped working here a year ago saying he wanted to speak about Rockhopper Exploration (RKH) - a Falklands oil ramp. Ben refused to give his full name or say what he wanted when he spoke to our ex employee, Princess Leia. She said he was jolly rude.
Leia, being a smart bird, googled his mobile and discovered that this was Ben Simons a PR himbo from Vigo Communications

Most folks who post on Bulletin Boards are decent sensible folk but the minority (the morons) are quite deranged as a case this week involving our own Chris Oil demonstrates rather too visibly. It is truly shocking.
Chris has written a series of articles which have been overtly negative on Rockhopper Exploration (RKH)). He is entitled to his view and gives his reasons. You may agree or disagree or (like me) have no view on the stock. Ultimately if it delivers it will probably go up if it does not it will fall, irrespective of what Chris writes here.
But some Bulletin Board morons simply cannot accept dissent. Slagging someone off on the boards (playing the man not the ball) is standard practice, as I now only too well. But some folks go further, posting bogus dreadful reviews of certain restaurants for instance and encouraging others to follow suit. It is not working by the way fellows, trade is great.
In the case of Chris one Moron signed him up to a series of dating websites. Oh really, how dismal. But one went further, seeking out his home address and phone number and posting it on the ADVFN board encouraging folks to abuse him. That post has been removed but not before someone called up and issued a series of dire threats and abuse.
Chris is away from home right now and it was his 80 year old father who has a heart condition who took the call.
