Couldn't agree more !  You're right... it is war.  In any war there will be casualties.  Hopefully, with help from investors, PNCH will not be one of them.

"but anything you write in a public forum should have intent....complaining about the rules of the game makes us/me/we look foolish....just as senseless bashing looks foolish to anyone....don't give them more credit than they deserve"...

You are absolutely correct... IF you post, post thoughtfully and accurately.  However, there are other ways to address the issue, rubuttal posting (although can be effective if done thoughtfully and accurately), can help, but think creatively on other ways to address the bashing... and the bashers.

Keep in mind... if we all address bashing the same way (i.e. rebuttal posting on LieHub) we are in effect only exercising 1 method.  Lets not waste resources on 1 method... branch out - hit them on many fronts.  You owe it to YOURSELF to be proactive against bashing.

As Kennedy said... Ask not what PNCH can do for you... ask what can you do for PNCH".  (OK... I adapted it a little... lol).
