Copied from Raging Bull 3/30/99
Negative feelings and angry emotions become quite difficult to placate with factual opinion, logic and words.
On this day, I wanted to express my perception of the continual issues some chat room bashers have incessantly repeated since the RS of June 1998.
First, the RS had to be done to prevent the convertible debenture holders from bankrupting, at that time, USXP involuntarily. I know this explanation frustrates those that do not have all of the facts. I and any responsible leader would do it again tomorrow given the same set of facts. I have been continually prosecuting those individuals on behalf of our Stockholders even though a misinformed handful have attacked my character, resolve, intelligence, honesty and resilience during this process.
A second issue: USXP's Letters of Intent have been ignorantly attached by the same shut-ins that propose to have the answers without all of the facts. Some Letters of Intent get completed. Some do not. Our stock prices was never impacted by our Letter of Intents (LOI). Our LOI's were filed because of our legal responsibility to inform the public. Nothing more. We would prefer not to have to say anything because market makers also attack and short when they see our financial needs and deadlines. Yet, USXP must sign a LOI before monies can be shopped.
A third issue: Finally today, APAC Members? Not members? Revenues? Our association is a building and developing affinity and it is educating individual store owners of their collective power. Those that criticize the term "member" can examine how magazines, television stations, associations and even census bureaus do their tabulations. Since all dues and expenses have been paid by USXP all of our members are fully paid up. They will become full "members" according to anyone's interpretation in the years to come.
In conclusion, USXP has 4000+ stockholders. It's unfortunate that a handful of witty, sarcastic, misinformed chat room writers, who may be employed by those not desirous of our growth, get exposure unnecessarily.
I know the real names and phone numbers of 4 of our most vocal complainers. Their lives and reputations minimize their comments. I will call and visit them when USXP's success has been achieved and they are still hanging around the neighborhood candy-store long after they should have left and grown-up.
To the 3996 loyal and devoted stockholders, I apologize for wasting my time and yours by even responding to such idiots.
I can't help caring so very much for USXP, its employees and its dreams that such negative creatures do deserve some of their own medicine.
So bashers, climb out of bed, put on a new housecoat, floss your 4 teeth and re-institute your attacks against me and USXP.
USXP will succeed because we are smarter, more dedicated and our ideals and goals are exemplary.
p.s. Yes, I am arrogant towards ignorance. Arrogance can develop into achievement; ignorance exists forever.
