Agree with you on the bashing sneaks, especially those who return repeatedly under different alias's in order to keep their BS rolling.
Thing is, when it comes to the pumpers you'll find here, it usually turns out that they are the one's primarily responsible for finding the news you refer to. The news not available from PR's or paid pumps. The reason for that is they are longs with well established channels, or sources for the type of news you're referring to, and they love to share it with us. Since they put in a considerable amount of time and effort to do this, I feel like they deserve the right, which they certainly have, to "pump" the company or share their enthusiastic excitement for the investment based on their strong level of confidence in it as a long term growth prospect.
It's the sneak assed bashers stirring up shit that waste the most board space with the ensuing battles they cause.
