I believe the content I am posting here falls within the guidelines of the following. If it does not, please let me know how I am violating this policy.

The neutral point of view The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting views. The policy requires that, where there are or have been conflicting views, these should be presented fairly, but not asserted. All significant published points of view are presented, not just the most popular one. It should not be asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Readers are left to form their own opinions.

As the name suggests, the neutral point of view is a point of view, not the absence or elimination of viewpoints. It is a point of view that is neutral - that is neither sympathetic nor in opposition to its subject.

Debates are described, represented, and characterized, but not engaged in. Background is provided on who believes what and why, and which view is more popular. Detailed articles might also contain the mutual evaluations of each viewpoint, but studiously refrain from stating which is better. One can think of unbiased writing as the cold, fair, analytical description of all relevant sides of a debate. When bias towards one particular point of view can be detected the article needs to be fixed.

HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME FACTS ABOUT MY WORK EXPERIENCE WITH MR. AMANAT. OMAR WAS C.E.0. OF MARKET XT. I WAS A TRADER AT MARKET XT. I EARNED PROFITS THAT WERE NEVER PAID OUT TO ME. INSTEAD, MR. AMANAT SIGNED A PROMISSORY NOTE TO ME 4 YEARS AGO. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE MONEY PROMISED ON THIS LEGAL DOCUMENT.

I feel it is my duty to inform people about my past business experiences with Mr. Amanat.

It would be wrong of me to not make this information public.
