Wrong knight... "Joe, looks like you're gunning for the head cheerleader position." I don't have the time or desire. What I am doing is fighting for a thread that has been taken away from us. I don't want myself, my friends or the management of IPM insulted, treated rudely and/or lied to. It makes reading this thread a very bad experience. If that means war with the liars, distractors, overt manipulators, emotionally disturbed, etc., so be it. Negatives are fine. Positives are fine. Both may or may not be true. But, hate, insults, lies, etc. are not acceptable. Most all the IPMers, including me, have sat back and taken it. IMO, SI has probable legal or hacker problems when they start kicking people off. So, it's time those of us who have used the postings to expand our research, to open up new areas, etc., to fight for what's important. We do not have to be mean and nasty. However, we do need to expose people like you for what you are really doing.
One more thing, I have met, known, argued with and frequently communicate with "CL". To the best my knowledge, he has NEVER lied to me. I respect him and his efforts to constantly cheer for IPM. There have been times when others have known more about what's going on then he has. Let me make it very simple. When you insult him, you insult me. If he insults someone, he has earned the right!
Cheerleader, no. Cyber Sherif, no. Crusader, no. Ashamed for putting up with a lot of the crap that has been posted, yes. I'm not worried about driving people off the site, they have already left.
So knight, if you can adapt to being constructive, civil, etc., welcome. Hope you can and will.
