You're right in many ways. The question of "Why do bashers, particularly multiple aliass bashers, bash?"

The principal choices:

1. Good samaritan. There are some who feel that they are doing good. Some have lost money and feel the need to expose a scam, to get back at, or just to plain warn others. I doubt those who hide behind keyboards and attack those who merely post positively about a stock are "good" enough to be called "good samaritans."

2. Just plain bitter. The elbacs who do nothing in real life, unable to fulfill family and other relationships in real life, feeling impotent for many reasons, and have to pretend to be something they are not online. They often talk about accomplishments, pretend to have a successful career in the military or business. Yet, their language and bitterness expose their inadequacies as if they were standing naked.

3. Paid or associated with trading groups or organized money, such as hedge funds, MM's, brokers, etc. This is the most controversial area and often falls into a debate of what "paid" means. Is a hedge fund manager who goes from board to board bashing a paid basher? How about if he takes a position and then admits that his bashing has "created volume" such that he can cover? How about if he just takes a position short, bashes and covers while bashing? Some argue that this never happens.
