Not all battles are fought publicly. Most are not.

And who exactly is the "enemy" to continue with the war parlance?

Hint: it's not Adam Feuerstein.

It's the wall that exists between the FDA and approval. The enemy is convincing the skeptics on the FDA panel to vote for approval. And as long as Dr. Missling is conversing with the FDA and understands what they're looking for, he's on the right path.

Engaging in public stunts with hack journalists will help the price short-term but it'll also attract a lot more time and attention away from the goal. What's the end-game, to get them to stop posting nonsense? It's their right to be skeptical, as long as what they write is based on their understanding of the truth and not knowingly meant to spread falsities. That second part makes libel and slander so difficult, especially when someone isn't a public figure (and I doubt AF would qualify).

The moment our CEO starts responding to stupid people on the internet is the moment I will become concerned about my AVXL investment. That's a response tactic someone who doesn't have any other cards to play starts to do. If Anavex has a successful drug, and I believe it does, our CEO doesn't need to worry about what anyone else has to say.
