OT Chris, you have a very thin skin. I have never said anything insulting to you (you misunderstood the comment that most recently set you off). I have received some emails from others on this subject (your miffed responses to me and others), and they are bewildered. Frankly, I find your behavior in this matter immature. But I wish to speak no further of this. It is a waste of time and cyberspace.

Chris, I too have been extremely busy thus I have not been posting on SI but I have to interject here. The post you refer to that triggered the ignore, I took as a joke as to how volatile this market was. I in no way interpretted it as an attack or degradation of your abilities or contributions. I also thought you were kidding when you said you were putting Dennis on ignore or I would have spoke up sooner. Maybe I am missing something that happened earlier but I thought his post was just highlighting that the market starts one trend and then reverses again just as we are about to conclude a new trend is starting, as we have been range bound for the entire year. Yes, Dennis gets a bit cocky on a good day, I won't argue that but who doesn't feel like they are walking on air when you flirt with disaster and get rewarded big for it. I feel that the directionless market is getting everyone's nerves a bit on edge. I have seen posters that I have known for years suddenly posting with a sharper edge the last few months and am seeing spats between long time friends here. Bulls are goading bears and vice versa more than before. Egos have been getting bruised much easier than in past years and I think it is having it's effects. I know there are days where I come home from work and I just don't even want to do my downloads much less decide on a trade or post thoughts. This never happened in prior years as I was always anxious to "attack" the market and try to make a "big" call when I got off work. Now there are days where I could care less. Heck I am making position trades again for the first time in 18 months. If that doesn't show things are out of whack, I don't know what does. <ggg> Anyway, just thought I would post and hope that everyone will realize nerves are on edge due to the uncertainty in the markets. LG and I made our peace and some others are also recognizing a need to put down the swords such as over on Ike's thread. Posting in written word doesn't convey as clearly when someone is kidding, trying to be genuinly helpful or really trying to make an attack so the ambiguous is easily misunderstood. There is more work required in the amrket now than before and even if right, the gains aren't as big as they were before. That wears on everyone. I know I have been doing my share of 20 plus hour days lately and I am sure you are too. I think everyone highly respects your inputs and there is no doubt in my mind that Dennis does too. I know he has written me before pointing out how right you have been on certain calls. So I ask, "Can't we all just get along?!?!" <ggg> PS - I haven't read the other 70 posts here yet so if this has all been addressed and resolved already, I apologize for reopening the subject in advance. Good Luck, Lee

You are a bright young man. I think it speaks highly of you that you didn't turn your thread into a censored forum because of your disagreement with Dennis. You may or may not have misconstrued what he said. However, you give him a forum to speak his mind and let others make their own decisions. I have followed you for some time. I do wish you would post more. Btw, I have often wondered if Mr. Patterson teaches by the Socratic method. I think sometimes that can spill over into other areas of communication.
