Don't forget Lindy, that the most arrogant people always like to define for others what the spirit of the group should be. Ramsey set up a group with a 'spirit' and the group agrees with that 'spirit'.
I think the pomposity of self-importance at the expense of the group is worse than the wish to have a clean and crisp thread with concentrated information and analysis rather than screeds of metadiscussion [such as this], quotes [which all of us can see at the bottom of the screen], baseball scores and 'Go Tigers'.
That's very kind of you to welcome Ramsey to the thread.
I guess Ramsey is King Kong on The New Qualcomm and you are the head spiritualist on this thread [self-appointed by the look of it].
The anti-censorship brigade, who are more akin to graffiti artists than investors or thinkers, should not look on another group who have different ideas as being elitist, arrogant, pompous or whatever other disparaging names the lowly envious scum of the earth can come up with [who are probably also ugly, fat, short, smelly, ummmm, stupid, xxx [insert here your preferred ethnic group for denigration - ooops, not that denigration should be taken as a racial term], skinny, bald, big-nosed, dressed in silly clothes, old and don't know where to put apostrophes.
Most of us have a balanced approach to life and enjoy ourselves in the right place and with the right people who share similar ideas. We don't feel the need to kick over other peoples' sandcastles. [I hope that's where the apostrophe goes]
So, to Uncle Frank, I wonder if you think The New Qualcomm thread will fail due to assault by graffiti artists or lack of interest and abandonment. Destruction is always easier than construction.
Hay [to coin a phrase] maybe we could respect other points of view. I bet you don't go into a church in the middle of prayer, fart loudly, then tell them all that you have come to assert your right to have a lot of fun while saving yourself by being an atheist.
Gee, these needles and barbs sure are fun.
Meanwhile, here is the latest on the head and shoulders formation of lemmings. I'm offering double your money back guarantees to shorts so send me wads of Eudoracoin [TM] and I'll put you in my bookmaking schedules.
