If we do not respond, new investors will assume the crap the fudsters post is true.
If a potential investor is prudent, then they will see right through the fudsters.
And contrary, if they do believe the fudsters we are probably better without them.
Why give credence to those posters who want to destroy the stock? By responding, YOU are giving them credibility and one of their missions is accomplished (you creating a dialog with them).
