A rule in doing business is that you do not 'knock your competition' people take such action as 'mean spirited' and don't believe you anyway since you aren't exactly neutral.

Saying that Cliffs taking a position in a ROF player doesn't 'mean anything' is just plain wrong. It might not be as important as some think but it certainly is causing a lot of investors to take a second look at Chromite.

Noront is, imho, showing a lack of judgement starting a 'pissing contest'. Remember if you start throwing mud it've very likely you will get splattered.
