OT...................................
Threads are 'cyber heritage' of mankind, TSO was one of the finest threads, it was a place that ATTRACTED A lot of great traders, the collective wisdom was huge, although I was across on the other side a nice lady called Lisa ( that what i was telling the new girl Leeza- all Lisa's since than do ring some very nice memories of great respect and admiration ) introduced some traders to 'Idea' and rather put in that good word that made or broke that horrible reputation I have today.
Those people were 'straight talkers' no nonsense guys and girls, Judy was another and we had great time together, times changed we all went our separate ways but I never forget the folk-lore that I still educate my children, the folklore of the 'learning humanism from Ideas,' my mistakes, my pitfalls, my aggression, my despotic tendencies, I kept working on them, I think I did come out a better person in 5 years and for all my life I am indebted to this inter-action over cyberspace and some great people who interacted with me. The people I met the people and I hurt and people who hurt me, it all remained a very important part of my children and my own upbringing, our faults became apparent and we tried level best to win everyone until the relentless charge started since last few months one after the other, I would have thought that I am done and dusted with as a force to be destroyed as I had none of the ambitions which tormented many others little successful posters, it went into everyone's head that he is larger than SI or larger than his thread, that is where number 1 thread went astray, we need to stick to basic foolish approaches we have and we need to build those bridges of understanding that will lead us to bring our heads together instead of banging with each other.. The leashing of vehement criticism led our house discussions into areas where kids would ask my positions vis a vis y stance towards my critics, that educated me and that helped the whole house in understanding of the dynamics of relationships.
I am not and was never here to make trading only I was here to make bridges and I have made several strong ones that i can rely on when needed ask even for help when required that is that Idea means for me. Naturally I don't let any evildoer destroy my cyber home.
In one room like ideas big egos could not stay, Idea so it first clash that made quite a headlines and than all went quite but TSO was deserted by many who were the lifeblood of that thread, the thread disintegrated, the old posters are conscience of SI and we are here to protect the 'nicety' and foolishness that goes with our calls, in the process we have become better and moved on but these very names ring far more bells in my life than in people I see in actuality.
I try to touch the hearts of people and the reason is simple I want people to share, I dream of a day that when I die 500 people may go off Ideas for one day like I withdrew from Ideas for 5 days after my friend Lee passed away, I never saw her, she touched my life and told me lessons of life that I will and shall never forget. Love and regards just got carried away. On idea I let my emotions flow free and that is one reason I do take care that if someone destroys it I will resist it. A man who is a hyper character and has lot to say Idea is my window to my little world and to my family.. |
