"It is pretty obvious....
That the reason some of the conspiracy theories are perpetuated is to avoid personal accountability. Think of it this way - if you got your auntie to invest $15,000 that has been wiped out is it easier to say: "I got pulled in on a pump, should have told you to sell after results, but I messed up - sorry you lost all your investment" OR "we have been screwed by the company, authorities, regulators, and justice system - they are all in cahoots - the massive gold find is there - we are just being played - the truth will be revealed and justice will be served."
I'm not sure if some of the die hards actually believe their own fabrications, want to believe, or are just being deceptive to avoid looking stupid and shameful. I think the latter. No one can possibly believe what they have posted constitutes evidence of market manipulation, RCMP/regulator/govt negligence, etc. Fact is, I think that HappyDrunk is calling it like it is and it hurts - it hurts a lot. And I think people can understand that if someone were to lose their entire nest egg on this stock that it would be hard to let go. I mean, is there really ever a scenario that plays out where any of the Agoracommers would ever come out and say they got it wrong - never. That property could have 500,000 metres of drilling in every direction and reasonable depth and if it found nothing then they would be saying that the real core was tampered with or that the results are fabricated to hide the find of the century. There is no outcome where these guys admit that their theories were proven false. None. So it is actually useless to debate or argue - one can present the most logically sound arguments, but the rebuttal will be "why do you care? you aren't a shareholder" "your presense here is evidence there is more to the story or a cover up" "you are working for the company" etc.
These people aren't sound of mind - they are emotional, they are angry, depressed, sad, and vengeful. And it is understandable. They have lost lots of money and their stock tip has probably costed a lot of their family, friends, and acquaintances money. Think of the embarassment. Some of them probably aren't even being invited to Christmas dinner anymore. The shame of being sucked in, but then continuing to encourage others to hold until 2 cents and delisting because "there is more to the story." I agree with HappyDrunk - on the surface that is utterly reprehensible, but the impacted parties are, as I said, not sound of mind. Some have had years and years of work and savings wiped out, their financial futures decimated - all because they felt the need to put unreasonably sized investments into a Peruvian gold exploration dream. Who cares what Lori et all said? What ever happened to skepticism, real due diligence, risk management? Those concepts, unfortunately, are largely absent from your average person and this is an example where a less is learned through hard knocks."
More verbal poop from another nonshareholder with no reason to spend such excessive amounts of time passing the buck for a stock he has no interest in or sane reason to care about. The displayed time and effort is enough for anyone to see he has a very good reason to care so much about what happens with this company. Every post by these nonholders with every discrediting attempt only discredits themselves further.
