Why is it necessary to bring your brand bashing crap onto the Nikon board. We are all aware that the Sony fan boys are taking their victory lap, the the Canon fan boys are high fiving their mega-corporate success, and that the Nikon shooters continue to take pictures.
I don't think that discussing the business issues facing companies is the same as brand bashing. These are real issues, and worthy of people's interests.
The allegation made in the OP is that Nikon is in such bad shape, and has such a negative view of the camera market going forward, that it is actively shopping for a buyer for its camera division.
If true, then it is a significant event in the camera industry, and of interest to many photography enthusiasts. If Wheeler made it all up, then it is slanderous and bashing on his part. But since there is no way at this point to know the veracity of Wheelers statement, most comments here are discussing the issue from the point of view of does it make sense considering Nikon's current sate of affairs. Whether Wheeler is a fraud or not, in the context of this discussion, I believe most are sincere and not just bashing. There is room for all kinds of points of view on such things.
There was a point in the middle of the thread about content like this serves only to spread FUD and this is the kind of stuff that will continue to spiral out of control and fester into a self-fulfilling prophecy because bad rapport doesn't go away, even in the face of facts. Case in point: OP literally just posted a few hours ago:
On a similar note, hopefully Nikon is able to release the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens --
"Sooner rather than later".
It's already been out now but OP is still in the state of mind to think and hope that it'll only be out "sooner rather than later".
So no, not all content deserves the attention and TAP has built himself a reputation as a provocateur and he's not the only one. We do however have to open the curtains every now and then to let the sun shine on the mouldy spots and call out FUD content like that to keep it from growing.
