"Bashers, imo, make childish comments, wild assumptions and generally spin doubt into any supposed dirt they can find."
LOL! You do realize you're describing the "pumpers" to a tee? Word for word, it fits them like a glove.
This board is filled with supposed longs who post 24/7 about wild assumptions. They do extremely limited analysis of the stock, and ceaselessly attack anyone who counters their wild assumptions with the most childish, petty insults I've seen since the 4th grade. Some of them threaten violence and physical harm to others who speak their mind. Most are merely accused of criminal behavior.
I think what is frustrating the "pumpers" - is that those they label "bashers" are visibly smarter and more credible than themselves. That scares them. Vulgar insults and abuse are generally fear-based reactions. And I smell a lot of fear coming from the "pumpers."
Why is that?
