Somehow I failed to detect grace and gratitude in your post to Maurice. Most of us (including the old timers) owe a great deal to Maurice for our lucrative gains in Qualcomm, let alone Johnny-come-lately like yourself and your friends. Perhaps it is time to upgrade your SI profile page. BTW, it takes a lot of gall to call oneself "poet". I failed to detect any poetic elements in your posts as well, in form or in substance. FM

Poet with all do respect Malloy, maurice have been here for years. Where do you think you have the right to tell them to leave? The subject is over, except by you, whom insist and beating the dead horse. If you want to listen to JW and Voltair they are at Voltairs porch. If you want to learn about Qcom(the company) you are welcome here. However drop the issue, it is done. The sooner it is droped the sooner we get back to normal.

OT OT - (you have been warned) Poet - you are off base I'll tell you again that your overreaction to the phrase "make an impression" on Mr. Molloy ( something about how this was an intent to murder) was sadly laughable. Let me put you straight JW made a hugely incorrect TA call I responded with a tongue in cheek "TA is Toast" one line post, parodying Caxton's "GSM is Toast" refrain JW immediately launched a stream of vulgar posts - water off a ducks back to me. It could have ended there, but JW then compounded things with a PM to me threatening physical violence. I had the bad taste to post this PM on this thread. That is the post that Maurice is alluding too. Since then I have been monitoring JW's TA quite closely. He is wrong more times than he is right. He is particularly bad at calling corrections, support levels and recoveries. Check his posts around the beginning of October and again in the last couple of weeks for examples. JW has since moderated his posts to "making an impression on me" A reasonable person would perceive this is a threat too, no? Anyway JW shares his own thread now with the man with voices in his head. Good riddance. Regards (really!) w.

In your post to Mquarice you wrote: Your smug and sexist off-topic rants on this thread are far more offensive to me than a one-liner about "wearing to the left". I have been reading Mq's marvellous rants for almost a year and, while I have noted a bias against the US sheep farmers lobby, have never read anything that could be described as sexist. I think it is only fair that you substantiate your characterization with a link to at least one Maurice post and if you can't, suggest that a public apology would be in order. Frank

*On topic* Cool! A food fight. Gee, so much stuff. Where to begin? Well, since you are a psychologist [ex but I suppose you haven't forgotten it all yet], I thought I'd address my post to you as a sensible person who could help Jim Willie who has obviously got emotional problems of a bipolar nature leading to in-denial cognitive dissonance now that his stock has crashed contrary to his mystic incantations just as he has gone in and peed on the boss's desk, telling him to stick his job. Also, I deny being a sexist. I thought a female, you, [as far as we can tell with these pixelated people we deal with here] would be a good person to send my valuable thoughts about Jim's problems. Since you have a singularly affectionate relationship with Jimmy and can provide counselling to boot, I thought you'd be ideal. Some of my best friends are women you know! So you can see I'm not a sexist. I have even worked with women as colleagues and they did quite a good job despite the disadvantages they have. I have three daughters, and I treat them well too - sometimes they have trouble with the concept of just what an 'alpha male' is, but they are learning. Women should be treated as human! So there. While they are missing a Y chromosome, that should not mean they forfeit human rights. They do mature younger, so are at an educational disadvantage as their brains have fully grown 3 years before the average boy's, so they have fewer experiences during neuron growth to puberty. That's a problem for foreign language [and other] learning - which should be done according to the individual child's maturity, not by chronological age. It also means 'maths' is a scary word for girls because their brain is fully grown before they get into the gory details. Boys are just getting heaps of neuron development when they are having maths inflicted on them. So I think you'll find most mathematicians are boys and will be until girls get taught maths at a younger age. [Counting doesn't count as maths - you have to be able to do Fourier Transforms in your head, then quote Shrodinger's equation backwards]. My mother also seemed to think that women were human. Oddly enough, that was before 'sexist' was a convenient label to sling around the place and feminists polluted the planet with sexism. Such as the C-block auction which allowed 'good quality gender and skin color' to be primary determinants of whether you could bid or not. Call me smug! Call me a racist too if you like [some of my best friends are coloured people so you'll lose that argument too]! By the way, you didn't explain what Jim meant by 'wearing to the left' and why you found that worth spluttering wine over your screen. Mqurice PS: WM explained how JW expressed violence by PM. I had the same experience a couple of months ago after some benign comment he misunderstood. It's not an over-reaction when we see the reaction to 'Showpanties' and other non-moonies. Also, let's get this quite straight, nobody owes me anything in regard to Qualcomm. I have put in my 2c to SI as have many others and I have got out $100 from everyone's two bits. That's the wonderful nature of The Web in general and SI in particular. However, they can post cheques to my Eketahuna address if they wish. US$ okay. Actually though, I have been directly responsible for Qualcomm's success. So has anyone else who has provided capital to the company, bought their products and otherwise supported it. Also, I'm not sexist because I think women are very attractive. Anyway, wouldn't 'sexist' mean one treats somebody according to a stereotype about their gender rather than the particular attributes that particular person exhibits? I think I'll stay here and help you and Jim work out your problems. Didn't you think that was an interesting theory on women's brains maturing earlier than boys' which affects the way they learn? Or do you think the maturation of a brain is unrelated to the way that person learns something? Also, notice the cool apostrophes there.

Poet and Jill, if you could please keep your posts to On Topic only, it would be very helpful to the efficient operation of this pleasant little stream. Here are two samples of your off-topic. Your irrational off-topic wearing to the left type posts are a waste of space. Please respect the thread! This post is a 'food fight' post and is therefore on-topic. Yours were simply egregious unwarranted personal attacks. Please go to Voltaire's Porch so we can work out our problems here without distraction. Here are your posts, consecutive ones for convenience. Qualcomm not mentioned even once...tsk, tsk, I believe you are sexually harassing me with your references to 'sexist' and you will be liable to one of those huge USA sexual harassment claims. It also seems like stalking for Jill to be harassing me too. That would be double damages I believe. It is starting to seem like a racist attack on a foreign minority. That would be triple damages. I hope you have VERY good lawyers. There also seems to be defamatory comment to the effect that my on-topic posts are smug. This is very damaging to my reputation. Good grief, this will be expensive for you. How many Q! shares do you have? <To: Maurice Winn who wrote (62395) From: Poet Saturday, Jan 15, 2000 8:30 AM ET Respond to Post # 62399 of 62499 Maurice, Since you chose to respond publicly to my post last night about the recent events on this thread, I'll respond to you, Maurice. You've got a problem with Jim Willie? Please take it up with him or SI. I'll tell you again that your overreaction to the phrase "make an impression" on Mr. Molloy ( something about how this was an intent to murder) was sadly laughable. Would you like to know what I find offensive? Your smug and sexist off-topic rants on this thread are far more offensive to me than a one-liner about "wearing to the left". Please go back to the other QCOM thread and allow us to work out our problems here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Maurice Winn who wrote (62395) From: Jill Saturday, Jan 15, 2000 9:04 AM ET Respond to Post # 62400 of 62499 Wading through another 500 posts of nearly all junk. Why? You have a thread where you're happy. So why voluntarily slog through one you don't like? > Since you ask, because sometimes people post good stuff here. Also, it might have improved. Please try to be less offensive Poet. Go and help Jim with his grip and wearing to the left [a hook the likely outcome]. With love, Peace, Mqurice
