>>>>These 3 are extremely bad in their postings on the message threads on s.i. in which they belittle anyone that has an opposing view<<< Thank you for your opinion. I am glad to hear from you. Could you expand a little more on your statements. Did they argue their points with true statements and facts that could be looked up or did they battle with lies? Please give me an example of lies that they have told. Please give me another example of the stocks that you know of that they were wrong about. Have you ever seen people lose their money on a stock that was a fraud from the start while the people that were behind the fraud got rich. z...............

Wow—what an amazingly specific, detailed, and well-informed post! Thanks for the scintillating in-depth analysis. I was on the edge of my seat with each and every fact-filled, precisely distinct word and phrase. ______________________________ “I think the 3 in the BW lawsuit have gone way out of line…These 3 are extremely bad in their postings on the message threads…”

John, the 3 amigos are in deep kaka right now. and they know it. BW is not joking around. It's like yelling, while your in a theatre, "FIRE! FIRE"! and then try convincing the cops, "Ooops, it's only april fools", "don't you get it?". lolololol The best part of this is IT WILL COST THEM MONEY$$$$$$$! While they sh@t in their pants defending themselves in court. Now that's what I call a lololololol! Take care John, and let's enjoy how the 3 idiots dig a deeper whole for themselves.

Son, let me tell ya—it's not a 'belittling' or 'high and mighty' issue. Take comfort and console your inferiority complex knowing that if the posters here simply had a couple beers, they'd actually find you interesting.

John! Well said! I have never been against anyone exposing a scam, I just believe, as you do, that two wrongs don't make a right, and that the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and bashing and belittling of "people" isn't consistent of someone that fits into my notions of heroism and looking out for the public interest. These folks will argue that they aren't driven by superficial and shallow things like money, and they care about us investors so-so-so very deeply that they are literally wasting their lives away with their posting obsessions and scam busting obsessions on our behalf. Geez, what a load. I mean, I don't want anyone to tirelessly toil their life away on my behalf, missing out on sunsets, and missing out on genuine relationships and friendships and family life. I am inclined to think that the sum total of their "true" research and scam busting could be reduced to a mere fraction of their numerous (strength in numbers) postings, and I believe that their "protecting" us is more about their own personal egos and desire for fame and (write-ups in) Fortune. And I also believe that they are fueled in part by the desire to bash and intimidate everyone whilst behind their cowardly all-mighty computer screens. Let these Wizards of Oz come out from behind their all-powerful "screens" and come face to face with their fellow posters as "real people" and see how they behave. Their research could be presented in just a few minutes a day, but they choose to get into these unnecessary bitch slapping, argumentative, ninnie ninnie bashing sessions with people. Truly dispicable, and such a waste of time and energy. The "silent majority" most likely are involved in healthy relationships and are gainfully employed, and are also of a higher calliber, and are "above" wasting their time and compromising their standards by bullying and picking fights in chat rooms all day, so don't expect to be hearing from many of them. Believe me though, my friends, they are out there, and are disgusted that you all are having such difficulty comprehending why Business Wire doesn't have several hundred Football stadium sized offices of researchers verifying everything that is in their press releases. This is a "real time" business, in case you haven't fiqured this out. The judge is going to question your mental capacity and totally laugh his behind off if you use the angle that Business Wire is supposed to comprehensively research the authenticity and truthfulness in it's releases before sending them to print. That is so blatantly infantile and unreasonable that I am amazed that you even concieved such irrational ramblings. In parting, 1. I sincerely wish you (all) good luck. 2. I sincerely do not dislike the Webnode 3 and their pack, but I do dislike the way they act and the way they treat their fellow posters. 3. The bashers deserve to be credited for alot of their research and information gathering, but they are (sometimes) not the least bit fair and tolerant of the many challenges and changes in plans that start up businesses have to endure. They will immediately charge into the war path calling everyone liars and slime if every single company aspiration doesn't materialize, and with no compassion and understanding of the challenges that small struggling companies are faced with. In short, they want blue chip fundamentals on penny stocks, and that just ain't gonna happen with companies that are testing their wings with new products and concepts. That is why they are categorized as "speculative," and that is why investors are asked to know their risk tolerance, and that is why investors are always cautioned to only invest money that they can afford to lose. 4. On the flip-side of number 3, they do deserve a listen, because alot of times they are Johnny on the Mark, and they can ask some good questions and can offer some good, intelligent, commentary. (That would be better accepted and absorbed if they were a little bit "nicer.") 5. The comments in my posts aren't intended to be blanket statements to all those reading and participating on this thread. If the shoe fits wear it, if it don't fit...then by all means kick that baby off. 6. I am gonna be busy and probably won't be able to respond point by point to the flack and the little spit and kick comments that are sure to be spewed in my direction. But do remember that I love you.... <3 Best regards all, "Me" (reference deleted, so that GrayDrone won't disqualify my post just because "I" posted it.)
