I already mentioned that I have a reasonable idea as to certain posters attracting Investors and in my opinion, you are not one of them. So, I don't think you did any damage.
It is a very serious matter if what you said has been misstated by someone else on purpose.
It is also a very, very, very serious matter if someone postures as an ASIC member. Even a statement that one has no "direct" links to ASIC can have very serious consequences.
