Good grief - now the board is coming down on count

The responses from Twitter Muse are completely unprofessional. It ss an open forum to publicly disseminate information with investors and answer questions. Not all questions will be easy and there WILL be criticism. Whoever is responsible cant be personally offended or lash out when there are tough questions or comments. They have an attitude like they will just take their ball and go home.
CountryMac who has been here a long time and rather emphatic with his confidence in the company is "publicly shamed" on Twitter and for what...? Muse "outed" me as a "basher" when i asked the tough questions and got the run around. Providing a response to a question is NOT the same as answering it.
Personally - I was much more enthusiastic with Bill's limited, but specific communication via Twitter and website. He gave direct answers with none of the obfuscation or wordsoup that is currently displayed. When posters ask for clarity or push back - they are lashed out at. That is simply no way to deal with investors. You will never, ever, ever make everyone happy nor will every answer be received the same way from every investor. But you dont pout and stomp your feet.
Hopefully, some will start seeing through the smoke and realize I and others with questions and pushback are NOT the problem. Go through my long term post history and look through the detailed rebuttals to true bashers and defending the company's various decisions and challenging the company on others.
Unfortunately, I can not defend or commend IR. While there have been some changes and improvements - they still seem to muck up the water more than clear it up. And I am coming at this from the perspective of potentially NEW investors. If I didnt have the history and past correspondence with Bill - there is no way I would start a position based on the past couple of months and communication coming from them.
A big part of my rub, and I have been clear on this before, is the "roles and responsibility" of such a group. They have publicly maintained they are there just to disseminate information as it becomes available. I think EVERY communication from an IR group should be put in the frame of retaining existing investors and attrafting NEW ones.
CountryMac - good luck. Keep pushing. Ultimately - IR is responsible to we the shareholders.
