For folks who have sent me private mail, I cannot respond as I am not a Paid member, but to answer your question, Paid bashers and Paid Pumpers ubiquitous and all of them are a waste of time.
People who out and out LIE to try to cause others to take an action that they prefer, is a waste of time.
People who creatively and enthusiastically try to promote their investment, because they hold a long or short position, is to be expected.
Hope that answers your question
