No one identified themselves for "The Challenge" to debate Peter. Funny observation, which isn't too surprising. None of the bashers across multiple platforms have come onto Agoracom and self-identified to take up Peter on his debate challenge. I've seen a lot of people say they want to debate Peter, but they play coy, and claim that they aren't manipulators so the challenge doesn't apply to them. This is the biggest cop-out. No one has accepted the challenge; no one wants to self-identify and have a real discussion about their criticisms, they want to post about it to others, without valid retorts. Their criticisms wane when introduced into a real discussion. Some people say they have the "freedom of speech" to not take the challenge and still criticize, another cop out of evasion.
Even so, they continue to bash the company across social media nonetheless. Lots of FUD. Sure the stock price is Red, but does that mean anything in context of everything else?
Regardless of the stock price, which may or may not be manipulated, I like to refer back to the Peter's closing argument, which seems to hold true.
This is a real challenge, and any poster that comes upon a manipulator has my permission to convey this same message on my behalf. If they do not take you up on the challenge, then you can be pretty sure you know who speaks the truth…if they do accept the challenge then all doubt will be removed.
