You're quite right, of course, that dissenting opinions got, and continue to receive, a rather cold welcome here. And there's absolutely no question that some of the bull's have been "little boy who cried wolf" for so long....like what....almost TWO years, that any creditability they may have had in this regard has, for me, long since been exhausted. I'll believe it when I see it in the paper....but don't misconstrue, I'm still using speculative monies based simply on the facts VLNC has provided to date. Be that as it may, objectivity on this thread seems to have been lost, noooo doubt. Everyone seems to have forgotten something that Mark himself brought up when he first started posting on this thread, and that is when exercising a debate, the last thing one should do is buy into the emotional aspect of the situation. And since I've commented on him, I'll use Mark Visnic, aka. Darkgreen, aka. MGV7, aka Meass, aka ad finitetum(spelling?), as an example. (By the way, the number of pseudonyms, and the need to constantly change them, is one sign of an unstable mind)

Not meaning to pick on one individual, but his postings have degenerated into the crude rantings typical of the street bums I see languishing about on the streets of NYC. Where once, early on, he had a certain logic, he now is simply absurd. Thus a fool. He hasn't been able to maintain any sense of detachment regarding this thread, at all. He's just lost it completely. I actually would feel sorry for him, excepting once, early on, he insulted me without cause, provoking my ire in return. And he's not gotten any better since. But upon reflection....maybe the high road is the better one...why stoop to the level of the fool, eh? So he's right in one respect...if'n you let him get to you....why you no better than him.

Perhaps this is something we all should practice, eh? Restraint is a beautiful thing. How'sa'bout this. Can everyone raise a white flag and declare some peace around here? How 'bout some good old fashion debate over the merits, without the emotional, personal castigation that seems to have become a hallmark of this, and Yahoo's thread?

And I'll start by offering an apology to any, and all I may have slighted, including Mr. Visnic. Peace? If not....well....see ya on Raging Bull where ID's can be ignore with the click of a button! HEH!

Hey Zeev: I erred in hoping Valence would be higher priced at this date but I haven't lost my enthusiasm at all. Your man Larry has relentlessly dumped on bullish posters for months. FMK admitted that his timing was way off in predicting Valence's market position and Larry still attacks with a twisted rebuttal. FMK, mooter and others, bug Larry to no end. I guess he must have become overly optimistic himself and now has a score to settle.

I choose to hold my Valence because of my lasting impressions of the company. I believe FMK's enthusiasm is borne out of genuine interpretation of his beliefs. Larry's contempt is borne out of cynicism and his malicious temperament, which is clear. His zeal is unequaled in the proliferation of his posts here and on Yahoo and his intention has been recognized by both longs and shorts.

Your biased comment on Larry's intention reveals your sentiment....So be it!!!

I can live without Valence Tech....Can Larry????
