NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

As an NWBO shareholder you're the NWBO executives' boss.

The executives do not like then, then let them take the company private.

Thus you're right to this extent:

Civility towards one's boss is a basic professional obligation.

When one's boss asks a question, it is unprofessional to ignore them.

One can answer the question, truthfully or one can "respectfully decline to answer" the question and take the consequences.

But flatly ignoring one's boss is unprofessional and the professional pride of the NWBO executives should preclude them from doing this.

I think if you were to send a letter on this premise, with your questions, you would at least get a "respectful refusal."

DoGood is right to this extent:

It might not be prudent from a business standpoint to answer basic questions. While NWBO should not get to the point that Soviet Russia did, where the Moscow phone book was reputedly a state secret, you are right that secrecy as its value.
