Robjer, the difference is most long shareholders are open with their opinions and ideas when posting on message forums.
The opposite is true with most short sellers. They disguise their posts and appear discreet to others...........ahem, like you for example, not that there's anything wrong with that.
If you are shorting IDCC why not be honest about it? Whatever thoughts you have about Mickey, at least he doesn't post "incognito".
The above is purely just my opinion!
