Paul, with all due respect, I am surprised that you seem to think it more important to "correct" a sincerely made apology to a "wronged" guest of the thread, than to coax an apology from the one who made the original error in judgement. Under THOSE ridiculous circumstances, I have no urgent desire welling inside me to recant my apology and refashion it to suit you.
What I see from your comments, and some other recent ones on this thread, is an insidious kind of thread censorship operating here. For example, it's seems perfectly okay for some to have a web page that "touts" stocks, to have started many a thread on SI, to "plug" your site in your profile, to plug your site on the various threads, and to publisize the initiation of investment partnerships, but apparently not so for others. Others who we may not know as well, like as well, understand as well, or agree with.
Similarly, it was recently said to a new poster that this was a thread only for net-nets, which of course is absurd.This was simply said to someone who didn't know any better, and who was seen as a nuisance. The original "flame" certainly was not welcoming. The shell-shocked poster, in a strange turnabout, ended up apologizing to the paternalistic instigator. But please notice, that just a day before, there was a number of posts about "my buffet like" stocks, and a fairly long exposition about one in particular, Oracle, on the "net-net" thread no less. But, SHOCKINGLY, that poster was not reprimanded in any way shape or form for this transgression of thread policy. Last I checked, Oracle, was selling ABOVE it's net current assets. OR am I miss reading the latest 10k?
Paul...we have met the enemy, and it is us...with all due respect... |
