Octavian,

Now that you have had a chance to read my posts on The Beehive Buzz, I'm curious if you would care to revise your post of Jan 4th: "Some dufus using the ID of "marketlover" actually asked these questions on honey's google board . . ."? You duly noted later on Honeybee's blog "Anyway, I do appreciate you responding, and in a polite way. It is very rare among bashers."

My comments on Honeybee's blog were based on my belief that Brinker should have some degree of accountability for his month after month of wrong advise. My question about lawsuit was a curiosity, as I have and had no plans or interest in any legal action.

My entire point was that Brinker would be well served to refund the subscription price for his wrong advices to his subscribers. That's my opinion and is most likely not shared by other members of this group. But, that's what makes chatting so interesting. That is if we can avoid the temptation to attack and make fun of the poster.

I am fully responsible for my investments and for following Brinker's bad advice. I do not blame him for my losses, but do not think I should have to *pay* for bad advice. I don't care about the subscription cost, as much as the principle.

Now I know many will say, you pay for the *opinion* of the "expert", without any guarantees. That is true. But an honorable person who gives bad advice would step up and take repsonsbility and apologize and refund, IMO. That's an opinion and can be disputed, but it is not "bashing", as many are too quick to declare.

My observation is that many posters on internet chat groups (yourself included) are too quick to use sarcasm and personal attacks rather than engaging in conversation. Without any prior conversation with me you posted on this site that I was a "Dufus" and made other sarcastic remarks. My personal view is that people who use sarcasm and attacks as their primary form of communication have a void in the substance of their argument.
