"Mr. 2, I think it would help the quality and civility of the discussion if you did indeed spell out exactly what you mean in your posts and why"
Tom I was asked by Mark what my thoughts were and what I would do! I posted a lengthy post stating what I would do in relation to holding the stock. I stated my position with a very clear set of statements. I received several complements on that post. I was also attacked for it. Funny how that works.
"You make so many implications and use innuendo and comparison to the point that it is a very small step to make an assumption as to WHY you say what you do."
If you feel any post I make contains "any implications"," innuendo" or a " comparison" that you do not understand, that does not give you the right to make a "very small step to an assumption". If you truly are interested in the discovery of knowledge, you would ask for clarification. You did not! You jumped to the wrong conclusion, and you attacked. Is that my fault? If so why?
Late last night I asked Mark to clarify a point he made to me. Since that post he has posted several posts, yet he has chose to ignore me. I will not jump to a conclusion as to why. But I will ask is he able to defend his point of view? If not why? Did he blink?
"Think of how often you now seem to say "I didn't mean...I didn't say...That is not what..." Can you find one of my posts with "I didn't mean" in it as an example? I have used "I did not say" several times in the last couple days and it was to both you and Mark, and it concerned statements you erroneously said I made, or implied I made.
"However, for many posters here we are very, very clear about our positions and why we feel one way or another. "
Not to be antagonistic but what makes you perfect and me stupid? Your view may be clear to you, and every one wearing the same glasses you are. What I see is a pack of people gathered to defend their position at all costs. I do not support this gang approach.
"To some degree it seems you want to be able to play the gentle protagonist ready to jump into the victory parade if Naxos takes off. If you want to ride the fence,"
Never in my life, have I been called a fence sitter. ROFLOL ! You may call me an independent thinker, thank you very much. By the way, I was told last night by a lurker, " never let them break you!" Who do you think them is?
" I believe there are some very reasonable people here who are simply undecided and wanting to understand more about the potential of Naxos."
Then let every one, pro and con, state their position and let these people make up their mind.
However, if you take on an antagonistic role with those who support Naxos, with that kind of position, don't get upset because we try to fill in the blank spots you leave in your posts.
American Heritage definition follows:
"anútagúoúnist n. 1. One who opposes and contends against another; an adversary."
If my views are antagonistic to your views that is fine, that is your right, and my right as well. This does not give you the right to fill in any gaps you may have with what I have said. If you want to know how I feel about a specific topic ask clearly and I will tell you.
I am willing to defend any position I have and to be open minded! Are you and your followers willing to defend your views in an open minded discussion one on one and not as a gang? Hey I would be happy to see you and your pack against me, as long as it is opened minded. |
