The following is a BXM posting on Yahoo's Finance Bulletin Board. It was posted 4/11/00 and accessed 8/10/2000.
- BMX Police as Whistle-Blowers. The Biomatrix Police presented themselves as social crusaders out to prevent Biomatrix from harming innocent investors. They claimed that Biomatrix would try to undermine their claims by accusing them of slander whereas in truth they (the BMX Police) were altruistically motivated individuals blowing the whistle on internal corporate wrongdoing. In the following, meddra 2k argues that what Biomatrix officials call slander is really whistle-blowing, i.e., the public revelation of true information designed to avoid a public harm:
- SLANDER = WHISTLE BLOWING
- By meddra 2k
- It all depends which side of the fence you're on. The "pusher" sees the negative information, factual as it may be, as "slander" because they feel that anything that might make stock go down is inherently wrong. Thus, they call it "slander". The BMX Police know that the TRUTH, as unpleasant as it may be, is NEVER wrong. Indeed, it is our CIVIC DUTY to expose the TRUTH about Biomatrix, its products, and its stock. Thus, we call it "whistle blowing."
- The readers of this board are free to evaluate both sides, and their motives for posting, and decide what they wish to do. Some will learn that this is a SCAM company peddling a SCAM product and run for the door.
- Others may not mind that it's a SCAM company peddling a SCAM product as long as the stock price goes up. Certainly, there are enough unethical people out there that won't mind investing in a SCAM that hurts people as long as they profit from it.
- This message board is FILLED with such people. Fortunately, it also has a few do-gooders that help balance the EVIL that men do.
