For those who continue to question the motives of The_Lionheart (LH), it may prove beneficial to re-visit LH's first 3 posts:

And yes I never have posted over about 7 years of owning and trading, I've always justed HC for most of that period as a trading sentiment gauge only ...
However I've got a feeling that's pointless now. One way or another, I figure we are approaching a live or die moment for OBJ in the very near future.

Hi rebel, I think your giving many posters far too much legitimacy. Those posters all have a hidden agendas. Their real views will often be contradictory, not be online with facts, reality, and especially not show their true intentions.
They will always stay whilst they are achieving their goals. For some that goal is outright trolling, and your agitation and the argument itself is the reward for them. For others it's satisfaction in keeping people down - Tall poppy syndrome.
Sadly for most
it's to manipulate you to buy or sell for their own profit. They are RIDICULOUSLY good and extraordinarily convincing at this. It's the stock market, it's big money, and people will do ANYTHING to control it. They could sell ice to Eskimos as they say.
Without measurable evidence for readers to validate for themselves, I assume any post to be manipulative. If you have done your research properly, then have faith in that, and relegate manipulators to the ignore list. I am comfortable with mine, have several key posters I consider legitimate, and a very large and ever growing ignore list.'

Its very odd for me to be posting, long time reader, very long term large holder, usually I only use HC as a sentiment guide,(that might change now) and thought this missed event is worth mentioning.

From the above first 3 posts on Hotcopper in 2016, we can ascertain LH bought OBJ in 2009 (around the same time as myself) @ a price that was no doubt lucrative, around 0.003 - 0.008. LH is 'a very long term large holder'. LH limits who may view their profile. LH is very aware of trader 'terminology' and general trader 'manipulative' idiosyncrasies, but does not demonstrate the typical behavioural aspects of a trader, by choosing to only comment on OBJ via Hotcopper. LH has only ever posted on OBJ and no other ASX listed share; therefore it is probable that LH would not be classified as a 'trader' per se, as what ASX 'trader' in their right mind would only ever trade or comment on one company?
If LH never replies directly to your post, perhaps you are on LH's ignore list? Perhaps LH may have traded OBJ a little and got burnt like so many other traders in the past who often returned to bash OBJ? Perhaps LH decided to hold on to the the bulk of his OBJ shares like the rest of us, as he held a solid respect for the technology? Has anybody ever asked 'Why' LH posts in the manner that LH does?
Whilst the above is absolutely none of my business, I have shared this analogy to assist those who continue to question LH's motives to provide an opinion on a share discussion forum. It may be as simple as LH has reached the tipping point of frustration after a decade of being invested. It may be that LH may not be able to sell his 'very long term large holder' position, as there is simply not enough liquidity to do so.........and would you really want LH to do so at these prices? By doing so, OBJ would be in a rather precarious position and well under one cent imo...and that's from just one holder; and there are many others that are in LH's position.
Personally, I'd rather buy LH a virtual beer and understand what's really going on in the background, as we may all find that we all have far more in common than we all think. So rather than continually trying to exacerbate LH's scenario, perhaps it would be prudent to offer a little compassion and empathy, for somebody who seems to have stuck around for a decade and who now seems stuck and frustrated. You never know, you just may be in that situation yourself one day.
Always remember what Hotcopper & even LH reminds us of:
"From time to time comments aimed at manipulating other investors may appear on these forums. Posters may post overly optimistic or pessimistic comments on particular stocks, in an attempt to influence other investors. It is not possible for management to moderate all posts so some misleading and inaccurate posts may still appear on these forums."
