If "someone" = me, then you are making an assumption that is totally inaccurate and unfounded.
Am I upset with the terminology in the PR? Oh, you betcha. Am I upset with the email I got from IR about it? Oh, you betcha. Am I upset with a man like Mr. Chavez and his past history, and him seeing nothing wrong with this? Oh, you betcha. Have I said I am exiting my position here? Oh, you betcha.
Do I dump into the Bid at the expense of others? No, sir, I do not. I have not, and I will not. Any shares that I have to exit will be done at the Ask price, and not into the Bid. Apparently, you have made an assumption that is invalid and incorrect.
Am I willing to walk away and let this be? Yes, I am. But if it will continually be brought up on this board, I will vigorously defend my position and my rights and will do it in front of all present. No one shook my hand when I bought at the Ask and helped move this price higher. But make the assumption that I have sold into the Bid, lowering the price and you have overstepped the line.
Any valuation that results from my shares being sold back into the market, only reflect the valuation that they added to the market in my purchasing them.
My complete discussion and apologetic for my position and my rationale has been posted (where it is allowed to stand), and has received several appreciative remarks, even from those that do not agree with it.
Dr. Chavez fought for years for toleration and rights of others. The least the longs of his founded company could do, is to exhibit the same behavior.
