Yes, SI is an open forum for people to post...but Tim STARTED this thread and his concern was for many of us who do not have the time to be on the computer all day like many of you.(work) Also, he taught a lot of us about the stock market and we do not have the deep pockets that some of you seem to have. Go to the Gorilla & King thread on SI, and you will see that is also a thread for all to be a part of, whether you are lurking there or posting. The posters follow the theme that was set forth by the person who started the thread there and there is no disrespect there for the founder of the thread and other posters. Why didn't those of you who did not like Tims' strategy, handholding, beating the table etc. just go and start your own thread out of just plain decency and respect. Maybe you did not like the hugging and kissing that went on there but we gave it to eachother and you were welcome to be a part of it. Your choice. Now you laugh, make snide remarks about him, worse than in a high school and you still keep it up behind his back. You all know who you are and it is sad. I think the majority of you are probably in an age group where you could be one of my children. I would be ashamed of you and so would your mom and dad. How would you like your parents to read your disruptive posts and know that you are acting like kids when they spent so much time teaching you to be decent human beings. Some people are just born in a cellar and never brought up. If you would have just left us alone, and respected what we were trying to accomplish here, this would not be happening. I personally asked you to leave us alone and respect our feelings, but it seems that you do know what that means. I for one, hope that Tim comes back here, and just waits for SI to have the private rooms. You egged Tim on and only you know the reason why. Jealousy? Attention deficit disorder? Bullies? Mindless? There are a lot of you making a LOT of money in the market, but I think you have a lot to learn about people. Keep up your sarcastic remarks, digs, etc., etc., because as I see it, you are still having your fun at anothers' expense. Do you do this face to face in real life? Maybe some of you do because you might have more money than others do and you think it is okay. There are some poor people who have more class, self respect, manners, respect for others, than a lot of you here. Does your expertise of the market and the money in your pockets make you this way? I thought this was a thread to discuss stocks, learn about the market and its ways, have a little fun, and to make money in as safe a way as one can. Tims' way was just fine with many of us. You chose to make ithis thread one of personal attacks and naturally people are going to defend themselves with the bullies. You think your candle is brighter because you blew out someone elses' candle. Sounds like you feel proud of yourself. I would call it not having a conscience. Hopefully, you will find that you need to have manners and self respect. Have you no shame either? Enough for now from me. Okay...go ahead and flame me. Dissect my post and try to rip apart each sentence that I typed. I would expect it from some of you, just as you have done in the past, but you know I will only respond with angel dustings. Life is truly too short not to be kind to oneother. Give kindness and you will get kindness. Show respect and you will get respect. God bless
