I don't agree with Paul's tone, and I do agree with your market assessment. I think what annoyed Paul, and what you should take from this is the following.
A number of us have created a very high quality forum here. We put our name on the line on individual investments in real time, and invite others to offer their input. The quality of the discussion has kept this thread from degenerating into people posting ads, hype or self serving posts, because they know it will be seen as totally out of place. Your monthly post sticks out like a sore thumb, because as far as I know, you don't contribute much to the day to day thought on this thread. Also, I see you post the same thing on other threads. That is just not how we do things here.
I am not looking to flame you, and I have nothing against the work you are doing on your thread. But that is just not what we do here. If you follow this thread, I think you would agree that Paul Senior and I have earned the right to police things a little bit, because clearly we have some "sweat equity" in the gem this thread has become - (though of course the credit goes to Mike). I hope you contribute your thoughts to this thread, but posting a hyperlink to something you already posted somewhere else just is not what we do here. The danger is that if we let one guy do it, we're going to open the floodgates. I think this is the first time you have been shown disrespect, so a couple of us are simply asking you to respect this forum we have worked so hard to nurture.
With all sincerity,
Jim |
