Carl, seeing as you seem determined to drag this issue out into the public domain, let’s get it over with once and for all.
I did not join this web site to get involved in personal confrontations. I joined because I have an interest in analysing companies from a Fundamentalist point of view. From what I saw, initially, that’s what most of the contributors also appear to do. If I saw otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered. There are more than enough Chat Rooms and Message Boards devoted, primarily, to Technical Analysis.
I cannot understand your paranoia about people creating other identities. Do you have much personal experience in this regard ? Because Dale Baker saw fit to ban me without having the courtesy to discuss the matter and preferred, instead, to insult me without my being able to defend myself, I saw no option other than to create a once-off, new identity and have my say, face to face. After being banned from ‘50%’, I noticed an ongoing attack on me from several members, including yourself. Is that your example of grown up individuals acting their age ?
Ernest Hudsonman has become a good friend of mine. We share an interest in the stock market, we regularly correspond via the Net, and follow similar methods of analysis which we both obtained from the writings of Dr. Karl Posel. As it happens, Ernest and his wife are spending a vacation in my part of the world and are using my home as their base. After showing him this web site, as well as the unfortunate incident at ‘50%’ etc…, he thought it a good idea to (a) join siliconinvestor and (b) provide some ‘friendly support’ should I need it. Unfortunately SI’s Management seems to have made the same assumption as you, probably because of an IP address. But that’s their prerogative. All I can say is, that’s the way it is. How you, and others, wish to view it is your affair.
With regard to the private message, Yes, maybe I shouldn’t have publicised the contents together with the author’s name. However, stating one without the other could be presumed to have come from me. I searched several threads to find another L _Long message so that I could at least acknowledge receipt, but could find nothing. I don’t have the luxury of being able to reply privately. I thought he might have used a once-off identity to have his say, because he could have no guarantee that what he said may not become public.
With regard to admitting mistakes etc…, I believe I’ve done enough to publicly make my apologies to Dave Lawrence on several threads. I don’t believe I have anything for which to apologise to dale baker. My original referral to Senior Management on Baker’s thread was because I assumed that Dave Lawrence and his partner were the final arbiters as to what could or couldn’t be done on SiliconInvestor. I obviously wouldn’t have made that reference if I knew that Baker had FULL control of that thread, now would I ?!!
Anyway, as I said in Message 21513 below, I’ve now put that unfortunate saga behind me. I’ll not be spending anymore of my time on this issue. I wish you well with your investments.
