John, you're right in noticing that they don't play nice (I have ample experience with that as well) but this is the last thing I would worry about. History has shown that they change arguments faster than Imelda Marcos changed shoes, and this time will be no different. Rather than "conviction" shorts as Bonk called them, they're utter opportunists, time and time again, when one argument has been blown out of the water by facts and/or developments, they effortlessly shift onto the next "argument," even where that contradicts previous ones
I really don't think they can fool anyone with that anymore.
In fact, Bonk himself came up with the most hilarious one of them all, trying to shift all the ludicrous arguments that have been the work of the Tilson gang, but the serious shorters stay quiet and therefore must have some "hidden" ace argument.
So good that it cannot be made public, (despite all the efforts with paid bashers, hired ex-cons, planted newspaper stories, etc. etc.), this is basically an admission they have no clothes.
What they do have is fire power, but with 13m shares short, they must be running out of bullets and soon there will be a new sherriff in town, with a new broom.
