I know what you are trying to say- but her persona was much much more than that. Even with ALL that stuff I really liked Christine, and I missed her when we fought(and what we had when we were- as Karma put it "humming"). I am not really the one to be her apologist- or MAYBE I am, since perhaps we are defined more by the people we have had as "enemies" than the people we have as friends. I agree she had a sanctimonious side I did NOT like- it was irrational and preachy, and she DID get angry at people and complain (I think because this thread was "her" baby). But I have a hyper- rational side people do NOT like. I am aggressive about my opinions- putting them forward, defending them and attacking other opinions- some people (obviously) don't like that. So we all have sides people don't like- but MOST of us have stuff to contribute anyway. And I would argue MOST of us are interesting despite (or because of) our faults. Christine was usually fairly interesting. And off the wall- I liked that.

Christine Grace Bartley and X are some sort of split personality?

>Why I dislike Christine's online personna . . .well, check your own chosen quote in your SI profile . . .says a lot . . .< That quote is a bit of a joke- you are aware of the context of the quote are you not? It is a joke on myself as well.

Would you say it's a bi-polar problem? This is a place for people who have been talking about tech stocks all day to unwind and discuss whatever, including the neurotic/psychotic motivations behind discussing tech stocks all day, and the pain they hold inside. You can be yourself here. You don't even have to mention the stock of the hour. When you are feeling vulnerable or sad, or you've been up for two days and are having trouble holding it all together, drop by and consider this a safe place to let it all hang out, and rest assured no one will flame you--that some kind and compassionate soul will understand and commiserate, or at least listen without laughing out loud. Feel free to reveal the gentle, vulnerable parts of yourselves here, or just write and write without someone who's following a hundred stocks and is in a hurry to read every thread tell you to keep it short and on subject!
