LIG, I'll not take a position on the controversy over who should or should not post here. And you are right that no one is infallible, as has been generally agreed on this thread for quite some time. However, I do wish that you would get your facts straight, as many of your assertions about what Bob has or has not said conflict with what he has actually said, and you have also presented your predictions of what Bob will do if we have a bear market as if they were facts, when of course there are no facts yet available. It is clear, for those who are willing to look at the facts, that those who have followed Bob's advice in totality have not scored home runs on every swing, but they have made very good money without taking unusual risks, and at the end of the day, that is what counts. If you have done better, then you are to be congratulated. Maybe you should start your own newsletter and/or radio program.

LIG: Re: "You seem to be in the minority re: your defensive protection of your thread." Did you take a scientific poll to come to this conclusion? Re: "I will stay here as long as I please and have received a number of PMs from regular posters who agree that your intolerance of opposing opinions and perspectives is way out of line." Sure, whatever you say. Re: "If you were so sure of your opinions, you would not feel so threatened by mine." A totally erroneous assumption on your part but what else is new. Your opinions on Brinker have had no factual basis up to this point. Re: "The more you attack those who hold views different from your own, the more apparent is the fragile nature of your beliefs." Oh please... Re: " I certainly don't feel threatened by your views. In none of my posts do I attack any person, use vulgar language, tell people where they should go, or accuse posters of malfeasance." Sure, you are just an angel looking out for the balance of this thread. Oh, Lord, does the world need more people like you. Re: " Yet I am subject to all of these only because I offer an opposing view." Yes, you are the poor victim here. I mean the fact that you disparaged Brinker with your falsehoods and half truths does not make him a victim. He should not be accorded any privleges on this thread created in his honor. I mean, what has he done for us? You should have your right to an opinion no mater how bogus it may be in the face of reality and you should be free to post it anywhere even here on this thread. So what if it is untrue. So what, if Brinker reads this nonsense and decides to hang it up, in small part, as a result. You will have gotten your two cents in and will play a small role in destroying the radio show you claim to listened to over the years and that may bring some satisfaction to you. And so what if I have worked hard to establish this thread and have maintained it for almost a whole year with success based on the very rules you dislike. What do my concerns matter? I get paid the big bucks here and enjoy wasting my time. So what if you could start your own thread or go to another if the rules were so tough. You would rather stay here instead. My, my what does this say...what does this say. Re: "I have nothing against anyone on this thread. In fact I've bookmarked and follow several people who regularly post here. I am entitled to my views as you are to yours." Sorry, but you must abide by the rules here and that is the deal. Live with it or walk. If you want to be critical of Brinker here, back it up with facts and accord Brinker the respect he deserves in the tone of your posts. You are new here and so allowances will be made. So wipe the slate clean and start again if you choose.

life, <<You seem to be in the minority re: your defensive protection of your thread.>> You still haven't gotten back to us on how you collected your data about the so-called multitudes who follow Bob blindly. One act of desperation at a time, please. When you give the data behind your initial argument, then you can provide it for the next. You do believe in facts, No? After counting the posts, I would say you are in the minority, not Justa. I expect the data that we await to be as valid as your definition of minority. D
