Angel D -
thank you very much for your concise, and from my brief exposure to the posters on this thread, very accurate history of, and current status of this TVSI thread and its regular posters.
I was lurking for a while before I posted here and was appalled at the vicious personal attacks that seemed routine on this thread. I agree with you that Topcat was quite out of line a few times during the interactions that resulted in your suspension.
Negative or positive on TVSI, the personal attacks are unwarranted.
I am not interested in getting into personal grudge matches on this thread. I have taken my questions and comments to PM where I can enjoy a civilized, congenial conversation, something that healthy adults work towards.
Although I prefer not to get into name calling on this frequently unpleasant thread, I will say that when abusive posters run and call for their mommy/webmistress when someone returns an insult is really immature and hypocritical. Actually, it is quite cowardly, as soon as someone stands up to their bullying, they run to mommy/teacher to report alleged infraction to punish the challenger by getting them thrown out of SI. Na, Na, Nee, Na, Naaaa.
Angel D, Phill and others who posted a desire to maintain a civilized my I suggest that it is time for the rest of the kids on the playground to follow the bullies lead and report all infractions on this thread to the webmistress. You will have many more opportunities to report the bullies than they will have to report you, if you maintain civility. I would be very affective to report in unison, perhaps you could PM each other the the appropriate times to report infractions of SI rules.
You know, I personally prefer a free exchange even when the exchange is at times heated, but when a member takes delight in having other members thrown off, then I guess turnaround is not only fair play, but necessary to maintain balance on the thread. I never start a fight, but I know how to finish one.
Yes, Angel D, I believe that in general we do reap what we sow. We are given pay backs in life that we are not even aware of...things withheld, friendships lost.
I have a very small position and if TVSI goes under, so be it, I do not bet what I cannot lose. These are the junkiest of junk stock for heavens sake, everyone should know that.
Good luck to you and the rest of the TVSI investors. For the sake of us and their employees I hope they can pull something good out of the fire.
Sincerely, Cytotekk.
