DrCAL: If anyone has been outspoken with re: "bashing" it has been GCBR. Many longterm holders of DNAP have endured years of negative postings and slanted attacks, ranging from critizing the poster of any information that looks "good" for DNAP to lashing out with invective that belittled the staff at DNAP, on a personal level. My favorite of this ilk was the criticism of MS. Tambourini as a "main squeeze".
Fortunately for those of us who have hung around with DNAP her squeezing ability has us lined up to purchase a majority of Biofrontera, and yes, such enterprise will cost us in the short term, but some of us who post here are looking at the long term. We all just wish we had waited to invest. Perhaps we all felt that the "big news" that would soar the PPS was imminent, but that view has have been proven wrong by time and circumstance, to this date.
A few of us stalwarts are looking at tomorrow with eyes that have lived through past onslaughts by many manipulators, some very junior and a few very senior. The professional quality of the postings in some cases has been very very high. The attack was not only on a factual level but on a "hidden persuader" level. Choice of words, image creation. Much attention was given to these "negative story points and negative image creation" to build a wall of negativism for an assault that continues to this day.
I can't recall how many posts there are that appeared on RB where Doctor Frudakis was belittled by having his name and title altered to contain negative image elements.
GCBR has been there and actively engaged many of the masters of the "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt" propaganda. His continued effort to provide an alternative view has been a lonely one, made all the more onerous by the quantity of negative posters, both silver tounged and outright vulgar.
DrCal, I wish you every sucess with your endeavors. I have not had the time to post as I have had in the past, but when I find a little tidbit and I try to throw it in the mix. Sometimes a thread of posts requires a comment.
Your current theory that a concerted effort has been ongoing for sometime to depress or destroy DNAP is one I share. But I also hold the belief that this effort though very costly to DNAP will be overcome. Perhaps for gravy on our mashed potatoes, we will see pirates hanging from the yard-arms when the DNAP galleon returns our invested treasure!
