I, too, do not subscribe to any of this Briscoe bashing. Adding to the things you just mentioned, he is not entirely responsible for events which have long delayed progress in Alaska and Arizona, nor for the string of events which nearly killed the company. And in that regard, he must be credited, too, with saving it. Were it not for his contacts with Pebble Limited Partnership players, LBSR very likely would have entirely disappeared by now.
Those who do this kind of complaining really need to look at themselves before finding others at fault for their own disappointments.
...all in my opinion.
