Disagree completely with you. The ZONA longs sat quietly by and let the shorts go at it for quite a while. The civility lasted much longer than was warranted. After a while, the rabid, repetitive posts got to be a bit much - who can blame a few longs for speaking up and defending their position ??? Everyone can respect a good short trade - but this business of trying to drive every development company in the ground just because one has sold short is ridiculous. I think they shot themselves in the foot finally -the boring repetition is not even being heard anymore. In fact, since Wexler and his gang of bullies has started , the price of ZONA has actually been consolidating quite nicely.

Thanks for your post - I did apologize to you & I hope you stick around. Not that anyone would care to but I think if you review the messages since Mr. Wexler arrived you would agree that it is he who has dragged us down. I realize that, ultimately, there are no controls & he can (and does) lie as much as he cares to. Ordinarily, I would completely ignore him - my problem is, as I've already admitted, that I've known the people in this company since day one - the management, the founding scientists, the initial venture capital investors, etc. (almost all of which still hold all of their shares, BTW). These are honest, hardworking prople. Many are personal friends. Perhaps I am unusual in rising to their defense but I believe that you & most others would do the same in a similar situation. But I have never promoted this stock nor expressed anything I said as anything other than my opinion. I am not blind to the risks with Zonagen - but I am comfortable with those risks as they fit into my portfolio. This is a high risk biotech firm. The entire sector is not doing well right now - it was great just a few months ago & it will certainly fly again There are certainly several reasonable opinions that one can have about the prospects for this stock. I, and others, have tried many times to engage Mr. Wexler in a civil debate. His responses speak for themselves. His energy for this is unusual - which is why I am sure he is a purchased component of an overall strategy by Ascensio to hurt this company, regardless of who they insult or defame. Everyone on SI is interested in making money, a few are willing to compromise their integrity (& everything else) to do so - I believe we have met one. I'm sure he will attack this message - so let me appologize in advance for him.
