Many different bashers out there:

Some are lone wolves
Some are lone wolves with multiple aliases
Some are small loose groups or acquaintances
Some may be paid
Some simply clicked on a link that said "learn to get rich shorting stocks"
Some are Sykes students
Some are looking to enter a position
Some are shorting


They are all the same in two ways:

They play the same game (and many know the game well).
They are a$$ hole liars

(Note that I don't equate all bears to bashers. Bashers are the liar species)
