Barb and so many others....your support and your freindship are so much appreciated by me....I don't really know what to say. Literally, I don't. I'm trying not to make more of the issue than the point I tried to drive home initially. I beleive these past few weeks brought out the true colors of a lot of people. I tried real hard to keep my big mouth shut about my concerns towards Kim....and I kept the issue to myself the best I could for as long as I could. As most of you know, I am very opinionated and I think I made it clear to Kim that my view of her was MY opinion. And I am entitled to that opinion, just as everyone else is. When I saw Kim pop in on Friday, right when the market was at or near it's lows of the day....I read her post....then signed off my ISP and watched the action from CNBC's ticker the rest of the day, while playing with my kids. I was just in shock and didn't want to say anything at all. When I returned, I was shocked again at the warm welcome she was getting from some traders.....I just thought...am I the only one that feels this way? But I knew I wasn't. I knew it for a fact. So I opened my big mouth, and I told her how I felt. I didn't/don't care what the response was from anyone. They were my feelings....not yours, or Russ's, or anyone else that got involved. Within 5 minutes, my inbox was lit up with PM's......every one in support. So I said publicly....let's get it out in the open. Some did, some didn't...doesn't matter. I am content that I told Kimberly Lee how I felt about her. She chooses to leave, that's her thing. She is not forced to leave because of my opinion. As far as I am concerned, there is no issue here....it's done. I just want to trade with my freinds and I look forward to learning from so many of you, and trying to give something back when and if I can...that's it. As far as Puff goes (Stock Operator), he came to the thread and made several insulting posts to the members of this thread without contributing anything meaningful. He just kept saying he felt the market was going down..and calling people idiots, morons, etc..I guess for trying to trade it. But that's what we do. If he was so certain the market was going down, why wasn't he shorting and calling trades? So all I did was told him he should take a week off from the market and figure things out. He said he was going to use his money to buy an A/V system for his house...I said, if that was the best idea he had for his money, (instead of shorting some stocks with it) then he should treat himself. He replied by namecalling and belittling....so I put him on ignore....simple as that. He wasn't contributing anything to me anyway. He just wouldn't go away. All he did was disrupt the thread and insult it's participants. End of story. Let's just trade now. The best members of this thread are still here....and ready to rock. If this thread dries up without Kimberly...well so be it. Hasn't yet. The neat thing about the internet is you can pick where you want to hang out and who with, and be there with the click of your mouse. Standing up for me or against me was the same as getting your feelings out in the open.....felt good didn't it?
