"With that many posts how could it be otherwise if it is a haven for stock manipulators as she asserts ?"

The bulk of the posting is certainly positive. With it tipped that far to once side, it's odd that anyone would be crying about bashing but many seem to need someone besides Mr. Bordynuik to blame.

For the most part message board posters in penny stocks seem to be made up of shareholders desperately trying to pump up their own shares because they feel their posting will make a difference. It never works.

I have seen instances in other penny stocks where there are groups which try to pump. On IHub a few years ago I saw the message board of MDOR suddenly swamped with posters who migrated en masse from pumping another stock. The founder of that stock, Chad Curtis, was also doing his part as he was outed a few times. Chad Curtis owned another fairly popular message board called Tradercolony.com which he used to pump the MDOR stock as well. Someone found out about that highly illegal activity and posted on IHub and within half an hour tradercolony shut down and that's the last it was heard from. No doubt Mr. Curtis had his eyes glued to the message board.

Promotion does happen often--that's where the money is. 'Bashing' a stock which is hard to short to try to make money, that seems unlikely but anything is possible.
