LG, as a lawyer I do not believe that it is appropriate to threaten others with legal action merely to make a point in an argument. Perhaps it would be informative if the others on the thread could read what MB was referring to. It was your post
Message 6813662
Excerpted in pertinent part:
"In addition, I for one am tired of shameless attacks on individuals on SI. Of course I am not talking about the occasional negative exchange. These actions often require the individual being attacked to lower themselves to the level of their attackers and defend themselves or just endure the punishing blows in hopes the attack will soon end. Even if, and that is a big if, SI Administration does something like warning or effecting a minimal suspension, that goes little toward undoing the harm inflicted in some cases.
Eventually there will be individuals that will be willing to commit the appropriate funds to go after such attackers and exact a measure of justice."
- - The timing of your post, 12/14/98, is important, because it comes just a day after the following post, also excerpted in pertinent part:
Message 6820397
"Antoine Roquentin: A few weeks ago Antoine approached me on the TSO thread and tried to start a debate with me because I believe Richard Ney's theories about Market manipulation. Evidentially Antoine has made it his mission to challenging anyone who follows Richard Ney. I do believe the market is manipulated on several levels and Richard Ney brought my attention to such, however I do not use Richard Ney's trading techniques I use my own.
Antoine seems to think that if he wants to debate you, he has a God given right to that debate. I told him no offense, but I was not interested in what he thought about the subject. I then told him what I tell everyone who wants to debate me over market manipulation, I have already debated that subject all I am ever going to for the rest of my life. I have no inclination to pursued anyone to my way of thinking nor do I feel the need to support my beliefs. Antoine lurking the MDA thread decided to join Vitas Saturday morning in his attack on me.
Note: Neither Vitas nor Antoine had ever posted a single contribution to the MDA thread prior to their attack on me.
4) I contacted SI Admin (Bob): Rather than lower myself to their level defending myself and in the process bring more vitriolic post to the MDA thread, I decided to remain silent and request SI Admin (Bob) to intervene. I have posted him three times regarding this attack. The first was to inform him of the attacks by Vitas and provide links to the exchanges. The second was to inform him Antoine Roquentin had joined the attacks and provide links to his post and all additional post by Vitas. The third was to request a reply as to the disposition of my complaints.
As of this writing it will be well past 36 hours and I have yet to receive a reply. I do not know if anything has been done, so I must assume nothing has been done. Should SI Administration not act that would display in my opinion a lack of responsibility. Should SI Administration act and not inform me as to the remedies to my complaints that in my opinion would be irresponsible as well. Any SI Member so attacked should at the very least, be informed as to the remedies initiated to have some since of fair play. I am still waiting for SI to do the right thing.
Thanks to the few that supported me publicly and thanks to those that Pmailed your support. Anyone that has followed my post knows I am not one to back away from conflict, however I felt I must to help insure a continuation of the cordial and respectful atmosphere on the MDA thread. I hope the SI Administration does not let down this effort, by failing in what I feel are its responsibilities"
I, personally, do not understand why you have to come on so strong against Antoine, whom you must know was not attacking you. Why don't you back off and lighten up?
