Would you buy this stock, who would speculate here, as a newbie, after reading the support it gets from its "longs"?

There are a ton of good developments, yet no confidence in the investment.

Wonder why? Stocks that go up in anticipation of, or on evidence of good news do so with the support of current shareholders.

When the focus is on a penny down tick, and that negative focus is defended day after day, while at the same time optimistic investors are berated, why would anyone put risk capital here?

When investors focus and applaud that which is happening, and when we begin to see posts that focus on the positive get noticed, things will turn in our favor.
