Rainer -- I've been a long-time follower of Doug R.'s threads, and his overall record is excellent, and his spirit of helpfulness and generosity is generally among the best I've seen on SI. I've recently started following your posts, and am most impressed with your analysis, comments, enthusiasm for learning, etc. -- even if they differ from other respected posters. You two do have different styles of investing.
I think this has gotten blown out of proportion, and I hope you continue your generous posting on SI, as I am sure Doug continues to post his excellent comments as well. He has put up with a lot of abuse from the ACRT threaders, which you may not be aware of and which may not matter anyway to you. While you have this disagreement, I wouldn't put you in the same category as pink and company, and I think Doug stopped short of that as well. And I agree strongly with Doug that his thread should ignore those people, some of whom go way out of their way to try to embarras Doug - it is disgusting.
Anyway, while this whole thing is unfortunate, those of us who are learning from you, Doug, Ray, Scott, etc. etc. on SI are fortunate to have the opportunity to do so, including getting opinions from differing perspectives on stocks -- which was not really my intent in bringing ACRT to you, but rather to make a contribution based on your request for suggestions.
Enough rambling,
Duke
