That's a great counter to my argument. I am, of course, familiar with Stockholm Syndrome, though I wouldn't at all be surprised if I missed class on the day it was discussed either given my dismal history with college professors. As I said before, I want Denner's folks on the board, just not all of them. I've always thought Amarin's board was too white, too male and too old. And the company's behavior, I think, reflects the makeup of its board: arrogant, self serving, presumptuous and pompous. So I voted accordingly, hoping to add some diversity to the group, as Denner seems interested in doing.

I don't hate our management or anything. I don't think they're evil.

They're just running a Corporate Guy playbook they've learned after long Big Pharma careers. And listen -- there's a HUGE difference between being a relatively effective cog in one of those big machines, and being an entrepreneur at a microcap.

Knowing how to use Merck or Pfizer's muscle to get your product moving is very different from doing that at a microcap with no leverage in the system.

With Denner, it's possible the strategy might not work in the end, but at least he and his team are basically trying to do something they have successfully done before.
