Amen.

I stopped posting much of anything about a year ago when it became painfully obvious that some prominent posters here really have very little if any interest in this stock other than to bash it.

For all the reasons you list, that makes little sense if you think it through. I would add that if one has so little faith in a CEO/BOD/Company, why in God's name would you spend hours and hours monitoring this board, reading about the company, writing about it, and in the end do nothing but trash the company you own, have a stake in, but think is ineptly run / criminal / negligent / (take your pick)?

There are many stocks I fell in love with and out of love with. At that point I sold and moved on (taking my profit or cutting my losses). Sometimes I lurk on other boards/stocks that I own or used to own, but am discouraged with or frustrated about. But I don't waste my time and effort as described above because

(1) I still own some shares and want the price to increase; or

(2) I don't own the shares and so don't care either way.

Hence . . .I think there is more here than meets the eye, or we have some very lonely people without much of an outside life. Or . . .
