First of all, I'm not threatening anyone, and I resent the implication. This is a chicken or the egg scenario. If a certain FB guru, which I'm not naming, populated a list of people that they openly called out on FB, it's only natural to expect retaliation.
It was irresponsible to the best interest of investors and the play to do something like that. That's my opinion. I can only assume recent criticisms of certain plays are due in part to what has transpired on FB. The rest I assume is a byproduct of some having short positions.
It's arguable that "standing up" to shorts is doing the right thing. It's also a contradiction to "rising above it" by calling suspected shorts out on FB. So, who threw that gauntlet down first? Again, if someone is going to do something like that, they should expect retaliation, and perhaps be prepared that they may have to answer attacks on their plays with attacks on other plays. If they're not prepared to do that, maybe they shouldn't open a can of worms by calling people out in the first place.
If I were currently invested in EWSI or any other related plays, I would have resented someone on FB doing that. Because they've put my interest at risk of retaliation. I still think it was a stupid move from an observational perspective. Which is all I'm offering up, are my observations.
Shorting is just a trading strategy. I don't prefer it but, that's all it is. It's not always some nefarious plot. I'm sure from the perspective of shorts they see pumpers as a bunch crack slingers. Selling garbage stocks to the masses. It's all a matter of perspective.
My advice is, waging a board war is the fastest way to lose your investment. I urge diplomacy and ignoring opposition from the start. So you can leave my "mama" out of it.
