I am also tired....
Of people who have no education, experience, knowledge, or information about the company, passing judgement on executives who have outstanding credentials, years of mining experience, intimate knowledge of the industry, and complete access to all operations data, plans, challenges, and budgets, thereby dismissing them as fools, idiots, frauds, etc.
Of people who have never even been to Panama or Spain speaking ex-cathera, and criticizing matters about which they are totally ignorant.
Of people ridiculing our latest board member and denigrating his family and past...go read the posts for yourself.
Of people obviously posting lies when they are well aware of the historical record that is there for all to see.
Of people making totally untrue and illogical statements as to actions taken and purposely driven misstatements of facts to mislead others who may not be informed, but are of good heart.
Of people too lazy to do any due diligence or analysis themselves yet feel free to criticize others who do and bring that information to the board. If we spend our own money on research and travel to Spain, Portugal, Panama, and attend conferences and meetings with management, we are criticized and ridiculed when we share information we have gleaned with the board.
As a result of the above I, an others of like mind, have established our own network outside the board, where we are able to intelligently share and discuss information that helps all of us understand the actualities of the situations, and take full advantage of the opportunities those exchanges afford us. At one time, before our moderator lost interest and moved on to pursue his own career, there could be found value here. Now...not so much.
If one shares accurate information, it falls on deaf ears and one is taken to task at every turn. That is the board's loss...not ours.
Remember: Answer not to an unwise man according to his lack of wisdom, lest thou become like unto him; but answer a fool according to his folly, lest he appear to himself to be wise. Speak not in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Have a great weekend.
