I also didn't interpret the response as threatening - or "contrite" - LOL!

You can't deny that Patriot Management and the BOD have shut us out. This barrier obviously began when they scheduled the SHM in Chicago. Shareholders present at the SHM stated that the BOD acted like they didn't want to be there. Gee - maybe we need to pay them more since it was such a burden for them to show up at the SHM! What do you think Fut? Do you feel sorry for them?

Would it kill them to send out an update/status?

How do you justify them treating us like mushrooms?
