If you tell people the truth (negative) about "a" stock on a message board that you frequent and flip that stock for a profit over and over, what else can you do? What else are you obligated to do? I'm not talking about the uneducated "bashing" that will follow the truth, just the poster(s) that are posting the unvarnished truth. There will always be the stupid posters, or posters with another motive, that call them bashers.
