Steven,

I think it's clear what "Master" is master of...

people will do just about anything for sexual and/or financial gratification if they think they won't get caught.

Sometimes they don't even care if they get caught. <g>

Hi Steven,

As unbelievable as a story may be it does not justify the abuse that I have been subjected to. I have always treated everyone with respect regardless of their opposing opinions. It is only when the same degree of respect is not conveyed that I will shoot from the hip and take no prisoners, which is what I just did with another poster. The subtle arrogance and condescending attitude in the posts addressed to me were unjust and uncalled for.

It is unfortunate that I cannot recall with greater detail the incident in question. But I am sure that you have come across old stories for which you don't recall the source. In such cases I would not throw abuses at you and call you a bullshitter and a liar. Among other things, most posters come to SI to express opinions, exchange ideas and discuss issues. More often than not opinions vary which makes for healthy and enlightening discussions. If opposing viewpoints are to be ridiculed and posters subjected to abuse, then we might as well argue with ourselves.

You have one idiot calling me a fraud because (from what he says) despite the fact that I am an agnostic (by nature) I choose to respect those who believe in Religions. I have also stated on several occasions that fanaticism in any religion is dangerous. Yet despite my opinion, I am attacked by that goat lover.

I hope to be able to find that story just for personal satisfaction. I've already sent an E-mail to the station, in the hope that someone there might recall it. I also see no need for me to visit here anymore as it has become more stressful than enlightening. I apologize to those who may have been offended by the language in the feuding with Gonzo. And I thank those who've shown their silent support through their PMs.

Good Investing to all,

Vince

BTW, Steven, it wasn't in The meaning of Life.
