Well I personally think it goes beyond that.  If their modus operandi was revenge for being spurned years ago for speaking their minds, then their actions would border on an extreme level of compulsive behaviour.  People generally let things go over time for instances of deeper trauma like bad divorce settlements involving nasty allegations in court and maybe involving custody of kids as an example.  What I see displayed on Stockhouse by some is rabid towards the company and other investors and all over a breach in one's ego years ago ???  I respectfully dont buy that viewpoint and think it's deeper than that.
