In my experience, when someone is unable to deal with the facts and truth in a logical, rational manner, they frequently resort to personal attacks in order to deflect the attention away from the real issues. This is especially true when they do not have the intestinal fortitude to give their true identity when making those personal attacks but, rather, choose to be identified by a generic, non-specific title like "Management of Oilex" or having a third party post for them. If Oliver Timmins or Richard Clark is posting under the name or "The Management of Oilex", they should sign their own name. If Mr. Burditt is posting under another name, he should sign his own name. That way, they will be accountable for what they say. I must admit that your personal attacks against me are laughable. However, some of the comments are so egregious that they demand a reply.
Let's start with the obvious misconception (intentional or otherwise) by Baron, Marty, Frank Fontaine, and others regarding my posting concerning Omar's use of the English language. My statement is as follows: "My, my, my, how your English, grammar, sentence structure and spelling have improved since your last posting. It makes me wonder if you aren't two different people". The statement was an obvious suggestion that "someone" might be using Omar's name to post his own thoughts. Look at "Omar's" posting numbers 1910 and 1961. Now look at "Omar's" post number 2127. The first two do NOT appear to have been written by the same person who wrote the last one. The sentence structure, grammar, and spelling are entirely different. I was not being critical about Omar's use of the English language. DUH! The point was that it was apparent to me that two different people were posting under the name "Omar".
In post # 2137, baron-marney (yes, Baron, you did not capitalize the proper name) states "To Prudent investor, On an informational basis only in which you reply to English grammar and sentence structure, it is good to know that we all make mistakes. We refer to your last post 2132. Oilex is a proper noun and should be capitalized". I realize that it should be capitalized. I quoted directly from "Omar's" posting #2127 in which he did not capitalize it. You might want to check it out, in the interests of accuracy, of course.
Look at "Omar's" posting #2140 (again, you might want to compare the form with the previously discussed posts). "For further clarification regarding the conviction please be advised that Mr. Burditt voluntarily agreed to the proceedings in order not to be black mailed, extorted, threatened with lawsuits by a slick group of lawyers representing the Waymans over a transaction that full and competent legal advise (sic) was provided for". ARE YOU STATING THAT THE STATE OF KANSAS CONSPIRED WITH A GROUP OF LAWYERS REPRESENTING THE PLAINTIFF IN A CIVIL CASE TO WRONGFULLY EXTORT MONEY FROM MR. BURDITT; THAT, IN ORDER TO DO THIS, THEY WRONGFULLY CHARGED AND COERCED GUILTY PLEAS FROM AN INNOCENT MAN? Blackmail and extortion are crimes, even in Kansas, Dorothy. It appears to me that this is exactly what you are saying. It appears to me that you are accusing the State of Kansas, its officials, the attorneys for the Waymans and, possibly, the Waymans themselves, of criminal acts. That would constitute defamation per se to all of the above named parties. However, if these accusations are true, then the situation should be rectified immediately. I am sending a copy of "Omar's" post #2140 to the District Attorney's office of the Eighteenth Judicial District of the State of Kansas to seek clarification of these accusations concerning potential crimes. I am certain that the State of Kansas would be eager to prosecute any crimes by its officials and others. Of course, I will post any reply I receive.
Offie, I would not lose any sleep over the threats made against you by nameless, non-definite entities. For nearly a year, Mr. Burditt has threatened me, directly or by implication, with dire legal consequences for my "actions". I have found Mr. Burditt's threats to be empty and impotent. In my opinion, the last thing that certain principals of this company want is to file a lawsuit that would give you (or me) the power of subpoena with virtually unlimited scope to conduct a thorough examination of the company's operations, relationship with Mr. Burditt, stock dealings, etc. In case they were dumb enough to do so, I can recommend a very good lawyer here in Houston who is already up to speed on the Oilex situation. I believe that he would defend you with great gusto. Just remember, if you tell nothing but the truth, you have nothing to fear. The truth is not actionable.
I was unaware that inheriting wealth was a crime. The last time I checked, it was not. I must plead guilty to inheriting wealth, to being an heir. In my case, it was an accident of birth. However, Mr. Burditt is a self-made man. He alone is responsible for what he has become. To learn more of what he has become, interested parties might wish to research the PUBLIC RECORDS found in the courthouses of Harris County, Texas, Fort Bend County, Texas, Jefferson County, Texas (interesting how this county keeps popping up, isn't it?), Sedgwick County, Kansas, and Denver County, Colorado, among others.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SUED AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
NO ENTITY IN WHICH I HELD A SIGNIFICANT INTEREST (5% OR MORE) HAS EVER BEEN SUED.
NO JUDGMENT HAS EVER BEEN ENTERED AGAINST ME.
NO ENTITY IN WHICH I HELD A SIGNIFICANT INTEREST (5% OR MORE) HAS EVER HAD A JUDGMENT ENTERED AGAINST IT.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE OBJECT OF A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN CHARGED WITH ANY CRIME MORE SERIOUS THAN A TRAFFIC TICKET, MUCH LESS A FELONY.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONVICTED OF, OR ENTERED A GUILT PLEA TO, ANY CRIME MORE SERIOUS THAN A TRAFFIC TICKET, MUCH LESS A FELONY.
I make these statements for the purpose of credibility. Mr. Burditt, can you make the same claim to any ONE of these statements? I think not.
I invite anyone who doubts my credibility to conduct as thorough and exhaustive investigation of my background, reputation and past dealings with others as you can. Unlike some others I can mention, I have nothing to hide or of which to be ashamed.
