Amazing. I am truly perplexed by your post...
ie:
"No one, absolutely no one would continue to bash this stock unless they were getting compensation. 12 years of bullshit on both sides and it has produced absolutely nothing. There is never any substance to any news that comes out. Even the conference calls years ago produced no new information. Emil has screwed this up from the beginning. I firmly believe Rich is as nuts as you to sit and talk to you week after week about supposedly the happenings with VPLM. Nothing will ever happen. "
* It sure looks to me that you are bashing the stock. Allow me to qualify. I have explained my view of discernment between bashing, which is simply doing so for the sake of itself and alternatively, posting negatively about the company based on DD and negative observations, which may or may not have been evident initially, but later discovered. The former, I agree to calling it bashing. But I do not consider the latter to be bashing. I see it as just as valid a commentary as any pro view.
That being said, I understand, at this point, that discernment is not paid any attention to by anyone but me, as far as I know, thus I just have to accept that con sentiment is going to be called bashing. I wanted to make that clear because I totally agree with all you said......
EXCEPT...........
saying that no one would bash the stock unless compensated or insane. Well, 1) I am not compensated and, 2) I'm not insane. Which one (or both) are you?
If you chose insane, that might allow you to explain (insanity) why it's so difficult for anyone here to "get" why it's perfectly reasonable and valid (just as much as pro peeps) to "bash" a stock that they found to be scammy at some point in the relationship, ESPECIALLY, if they are a shareholder from many years ago? So it might take insanity to explain such an insane state of that affair, lol.
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.
