"Even worse is denigrating others who have the audacity to be bullish about a spec stock that they own."

Being bullish is one thing....being blind to reality and stating opinion as fact is something entirely different.

I do not believe that any of us are blind to the concept of the risk involved in investing in speculative explorers...we assume it voluntarily. The problem I have with what you say( and many others who have the same viewpoint) is that you appear to equate risk with " it's speculative, so just accept everything you are told or whatever comes your way"....

We are entitled to hold the management of speculative companies to the same level of expectation as the management of any other company. It is the outcome which is speculative, not the way the company is run....A very important distinction which you seem to forget
