>> Sorry, Frank, no retraction here... He has the right to post, I have the right to ignore. Once again we are in agreement, Poet, but do you have the moral right to ask your threadmates to shun Jeff? We really dislike you. You're the only person on our thread that we have felt this way about. You have taken a personal vendetta against us to a # of different threads and it's stopping here and now on this thread because we are both putting you on permanent ignore, and asking others on the thread to ignore any negative posts from you as well. btw, all Jeff was trying to do was to get you to publicly apologize to JW for your intrusiveness of last week. IMO, that would be a classy move. uf

Poet: you must conform to some basic guidelines yourself - dont make infrequent posted messages on a given thread critical, balance with contributions at same time - if you disapprove of someone's posted messages, for God's sake learn how to use PM instead of going public (do you ever use PM's?) - dont criticize others for doing precisely what you do on your own thread - quit sidestepping your own failure and losses, while emphasizing the pain of other friends - if you must apologize, then show the courage, integrity, courage, class, and decency to do it to that person's face - quit attempting to bully others in a mob attempt, like what you did with JeffSmith - admit your own mistakes, and quit justifying - avoid chatty posted messages of no substance to comrades, use PM for such stuff (you are the worst offender of all) - quit preaching like some damned know-it-all, high & mighty, when YOU HAVE NEVER HELD A FULL-TIME JOB IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, and THE ORIGINAL SEED MONEY YOU HAVE BUILT FROM IN YOUR ACCOUNT WAS NOT EARNED BY YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE I can get along, if you and I each conform to at least the above and yes, I imply you are guilty for ALL of the above on a regular basis it is my considered opinion that your behavior is dishonorable, unrespectable, not genuine, backstabbing / Jim Willie

Actually, hon, let's admit it, we had fun writing that post. We ain't gonna retract it. What are you thinking about the markets? I thought you'd go offline. I can't seem to do so myself.

Poet, ...because of a series of public and private attempts on his part to bait and humiliate us. He has the right to post, I have the right to ignore. Poet, you just can't state the truth, can you? Lying about what I have or have not done impresses no one. I'll stand my character up to yours any day. Admit to yourself, because you certainly don't seem to want to admit to others, that your behavior is the problem. I just shine a light on it - in public of course - because of your PM shenanigans. I will continue to take issue with your (and Jill's if necessary) blatant mischaracterizations of fact, and public bullying, when you choose to do either on threads which I read. BTW - where is that apology to JW you so carefully made on "your" thread, but not to him? Jeff Smith
