Mary,

"Don't you and GaBard have a NAMBLA meeting today?" Message 17673496

Bear Down is a perfect example of what I mean about the "in-your-face" approach to posting messages.

Not happy with what I have to say he makes ad hominem attacks upon me. Presumably with the idea that this will change my mind, make me go away, or humble me as a laughing-stock in the eyes of others.

Won't work on me, never will; but I imagine that this kind of tactic is effective on other people. Most people don't like abuse and will shy away accordingly.

More importantly, this kind of tactic does nothing to enhance the reputation of short traders. Quite the opposite. It's not informative nor persuasive. It's sole purpose is to intimidate and to evade the issues that I brought up in my post.

Mary, you're trying to put a respectable face on short-trading. People like Bear Down will make that task all but impossible for you.

Regards, Ed
