I must respectfully disagree with you stand against posting the writings/spewings of Roy or his “blog”. I understand your distaste for his sudden turn against Crystallex and I too believe that he’s been bought-and-paid-for by Rusoro, BUT…………&...
Let’s face it, we now live in the CNN-paradigm. Remember when CNN first came on the air? Everybody laughed. “Who is going to watch a channel of just news” they said. Well, thanks in part to the first Gulf War, CNN grew into the powerhouse that it is. Now there are multiple copies of that format doing one thing…digging up news to the smallest detail.
That’s kind of like the little world we have here at Agoracom. All of us come to this board for one reason, because this board has become the clearinghouse for all things Crystallex. We have hoards of members scouring every internet page we can find digging up the smallest flakes of news which might shed light on the status of our “beloved” investment. The fact that Roy has actually written articles based of information gathered at this site (thanks Vlada) shows just how powerful we have become.
Fact is, if it’s written about Crystallex, it will (and should) end up here.
Has Roy been compromised? Undoubtedly. We can still use that to our advantage. Lately he's been taking a softer stand against KRY. That speaks volumns! Our enemy is now concerned which is good for us.
I understand that you don't feel that he deserves to get the attention, but those of his ilk are just one of the distasteful facts of life we have to deal with (like lawyers and lobbyists in Washington D.C.)
Thanks.
