Dan, it's like a ltimus test -- the colour a person turns when they are confronted with certain forces, like truth. Lalit and ole 49r turn purple and irrational and show they don't want to read the facts. As is clear from the earlier post, two VSE "liars for hire", Bob Shore and George Chelekis conspired in a failed attempt to discredit the business journalist David Baines and myself. Baines has never shorted a stock in his career but has raised the ire of many crooks because he has exposed them publicly to benefit public investors. The attacks on myself (and similarly, I do not short stocks, nor do I go long, I don't trade period) had additional motivation. As came up at trial last week, at the time that George Chelekis, a Scientologist who's at least OT4 (for those who care about such things), was hired for the smear job I was working as an expert consultant to Time Warner Inc. They had published a cover story titled "Scientology: The Cult of Greed" (Time Magazine, May 6 1991) and retained me to help defend an action taken by Scientology forces against them. Anyone familiar with the Church of Scientology will know they are infamous for vicious attacks on people that they view as being their enemies. In my case I hold no personal views on Scientology but the fact I was assisting Time was apparently enough to make me such an enemy in the eyes of some. The major damage awards made in cases to compensate victims of Scientology attacks and various court decisions in such matters are testament to these tactics. Any web search engine should help one easily find the details of landmark cases in this area (e.g. look at the recent Casey Hill case). So, when you combine your garden variety penny stock sleazeballs with elements of Scientology campaigns the result is predictably bizarre and malicious. The interesting thing on this thread is how Lalit and ole 49r are the only posters who are going right off the edge of any level of credibility. When reason fails, the personal attacks get louder, the bold type appears and, still, somehow, after seeing what isn't there in posts about myself and other subjects they still can't see what is there in the public postings of Merrick Walsh and the public statements of David Walsh. I guess it's true, as well, that there are none so blind as those who will not see. Lalit and ole 49r don't really doubt that Merrick carried out an active disinformation campaign on SI. Nor can they, if they profess to be of average intelligence, really doubt that Merrick's brother David is also guilty of misleading the public. The reason for their braying to the contrary is really the only thing that does seem to be in doubt. |
