A side effect of being a fool is that you never get to realize it. It's like a closed loop or chasing your tail. There are more than one meaning to the terms "bashers" & "pumpers". Similar to the fact that you can't have a seller without a buyer and vice versa, you can't have bashers without pumpers. The problem is that so many use the terms in an incorrect and frivolous way. There are real pumpers, paid, unpaid, company based, outside based, etc. I have previously posted the various types according to the sec, right here. Their purpose is to manipulate the pps. This is well known and established fact. There are also real bashers, with the same attributes of above and whose purpose is again to try to manipulate the price. Some of the above activities are legal, some not.
Then there are just regular ppl who use the msg boards to express their true and honest sentiments. Some of them are clueless and just are the type that like to jump on the bandwagon to praise or bitch, holler and complain, solely for the sake of itself and not due to intelligence, knowledge, facts, real DD or any bona fide reasons.
And then there are those who believe in everything they say here and have just as much right to be negative about a company as those who are pro. That's what the msg boards are for....a place to express ones opinions, good, bad or ugly, about a company and are not in any way, shape or form there for the purpose of price manipulation.
The problem is that comments like yours show zero discernment of the above differences. And I have no choice but to see that as pathetic because in my case I have been here for a very long time and have been 100% consistent in my written opinions and conclusions from the gitgo, which began for me, when vplm told the BIG LIE via Chang and his lying PRs starting in 2011 but I didn't know the whole deal was bullshit until after they, on a dime, transformed into the mega patent troll that they are in more ways than one.
I have never shorted a stock and sice I'm a very long term shareholder, it simply makes zero sense that I would badmouth this company for the purpose of manipulating the price. That should be exceedingly obvious to any discerning reader of the board. I have backed up every single opinion and/or belief in have about vplm with the best, reasonable, logical, dot connecting, facts, observations, ideas, opinions I could gather and done a huge amt of DD all along the way. We all come up with our own conclusions................................BUT.......anyone who reads my stuff, aside from the humorous elements, as I do have a fun time with it.......is a fool if they come away with the conclusion that I'm so paid (or unpaid) basher who wants to see vplm fail and/or want to manipulate the price (as it I could actually do that, lol, even if I wanted to, which I don't), they should either have their head examined or work on comprehension skills or whatever it takes to reverse a complete lack of understanding peoples character.
All that said, I had to look at what you referred to from orca which was his reply to me, several times. I confess to maybe being distracted or something when I first read his reply and what he might have been implying didn't click for me until much later when I read your above post that's seems to imply 2 things I didn't get the 1st time around. You clearly said that based on my post (I can't even remember what my post was but no doubt I was negative on vplm in some way) orca was using me in the sense that he was thanking me for "making noise" against vplm that would bring the price down for him. Like I say, I didn't catch that at all when I 1st read it and I had to look it and my list over a couple times after your post. I still am not 100% that's what he was saying but it DOES look that way. And if that's what he meant then he was using me and he has the right to say whatever he wants (free speech) but ought to know better than to make me look that way. I will keep it in mind. So I thank you for getting me to take a 2nd look.......but......you're dead wrong. Take it or leave it. I don't just "bash" vplm. I've looked at it for approx 13 yrs and I call itnfhenway I see it. Now you can say you didn't read past the 1st line or one of the other usual comments or think it's all bs. Your prerogative or defect.
All my commentary is to be considered as my personal opinions, to which I am entitled. And there is no proof of said opinions unless I offer it in the comments.
