Hi Ptlas,
In terms of "growing up" I wasnt the one posting 20 pics of trolls to someone who was just discussing the stock, and the amount of insults and childish behaviour coming at me was absurd. Im all for letting water fall off the ducks back, but I remained extremely patient in the face of wild accusations and an irrational herd like mentality, so there comes a time where one should stand up for themselves too, and it was nothing short of cult like pathetic behaviour from many. I really dont want to go over it again in detail, I even read back at all the comments recently just to rejudge myself and all it did was prove to me how all rationality went out the window for many in the "respected community". Im all for calling a troll a troll, the shane's, toilets, hoots, and the many others we've had over the years, but Ive remained pretty level headed over the years on both forums, even to the point of defending wombat multiple times over the years when everyone use to get stuck into him
I agree there is some great information in here, and I wouldnt be here if there wasnt, but that's no excuse for the behaviour in question.
In relation to my pricing, well Im pretty sure you could get almost everyone in heres posts on pricing and do the same thing. so pointing that out is irrelevant if it's a me v's the 'respected community' analysis. I dont think there was a huge variation in my pricing that you've mentioned, in fact I think you've exeggerated it to suit the narrtive. my prices were ATH +royalties or divvies amounting to around 10cents a share or a total thereabouts, or around $7b-$10b. I reckon most in here have varied more than me.
I dont worry too much about what ppl post on their pricing predictions as it seems the consensus from the informed is anywhere between US$6-10b which just went up in AUD thanks to the exchange rate and I dont think any vote would pass at all below ATH. I think almost everyone in here has said they'd take ATH TO when it looked like we have no other resort in the past, but of course right now considering the won court cases, the international interest and the damages over the years up until now, well most here are now confident with a figure anywhere from US$6b-$10b, and we are all in hope for a bidding war to push us to $10b+ and I can only assume the board will inform shareholders to not act on any of the initial offers if they're below our $9b claims figure. If after multiple rounds of bidding we fall just short of $9b then i'd accept it just to put an end to this mess
