>> your cronies <<

Line up, guys and gals, and count off.

There's a Ph.D., biochemical engineering, who determines much of the sector's business development strategy.

There's a Ph.D. organic chemist who (1) does process scale-up for a day job (a real one), (2) supports families in two countries, and (3) made a shambles of biotech investing in 1999.

Anyone else want to be one of my cronies? The pay is good.... two, maybe three pitchers of beer among friends, maybe once or twice a year.

my previous self-inflicted embarrassments have forced me to be exceptionally aware of the delineation between fact and opinion and I make a concerted effort to distinguish these in all of my posts.

Bull. Let's start here. I have, in my hands, a hard copy of the post to which this refers.......

Message 2038423

You were not alluding to "a rumor of a press release". You were commenting on a bogus press release which was posted to the Fountain Pharmaceuticals thread by one "Mark Fisner". The intent of that post, IMO, was fraud for profit.

You've been taking shots at our picks in the face of our success. You've attempted to do such from a stance of anonymity, using multiple aliases. I call that cowardice. You were using one or another alias to take shots, be the "bad girl", while defending those, with a second alias, who were attacked. I call that cowardice.

Finally, your embarrassments have NOT been self-inflicted. I got you kicked off of SI. I uncovered the aliases that you were using. I pointed SI personnel to the bogus press release from Fisner. And I pointed to "Scott" when you tried to sneak back in, using another assumed alias.

Two of my cronies can verify everything that I've said, as they were doing the investigations with me, real time.

This is what really ticks me off..... you continue to represent yourself as a scientist, but scientists are trained to not engage in the sort of crap -- "creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions (you) deemed worthwhile" -- that you find routine.

I'll satisfy your your incessant and insatiable desire

You came back to SI. I didn't ask you to come back, I didn't ask you to assume yet another alias, and I didn't ask you to start taking shots, from yet another stance of cowardice, at the biotech "mavens".

Why does our success make you so angry? We have truly been successful, and many have shared who would not have otherwise done so.

puritanical rage

You bet! Scientists don't cheat, and you continuously hold your training up as some sort of great gift to SI. It's the bottom line that we all learn.... scientists don't cheat.

OK Richard. Since you're so desperate for this, I'll satisfy your your incessant and insatiable desire...if it will result
in you and your cronies getting off my back.

This is my biography:
Name - Ronald P. Hellendall
Address - 407 Thornwood Dr. , Chapel Hill, NC
Age - 44
Education - Ph.D. Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, 1991; Neuroscience

I originally joined SI in ~1996 and proceeded to break a number of the fundamental rules of this site. I used
multiple aliases which spoke back and forth to each other creating the illusion of agreement on whatever opinions I
deemed worthwhile. I also alluded to a rumor of a press release of some sort of arrangement between Fountain
Pharmaceuticals and Merck which was a complete fabrication. I was appropriately kicked off of SI soon thereafter.
Subsequent to a metaphorical ~18 month prison term (i.e. no SI), I reapplied to SI - obviously using my real name
in the application - and adapted the totally fictitious name of Scott Jiminez to protect my privacy.

If the members of the SI community feel I should be banned for life, please advise the proper authorities
immediately. I have attempted to be as forthright and as helpful in my participation on SI as I can be; my previous
self-inflicted embarrassments have forced me to be exceptionally aware of the delineation between fact and
opinion and I make a concerted effort to distinguish these in all of my posts. Again, if those in the SI community
feel I have failed this necessary requisite, please email Jill.

I will not respond to the Rick's incendiary post, just as I refused to extend Miljenko's mudslinging (even though
both posts contained enormous distortions and considerable hyperbole) because one round of this junk in this
public forum is enough. If Rick and Miljenko would care to continue to invoke their puritanical rage, fine. I've had
my mea culpa and I will not respond.

Scott

RE: Testimony!

Did I miss single and simple word of sorry or apologize to SI community in your testimony?

In Croatia we have folk adage: “Vuk dlaku mjenja ali cud ne”, or translated “Wolf can change fur, but nature can not! I am sure US have an equivalent.

So, You may buy others, but not me. Not in my lifetime. Just to make clear what my vote is.

<<just as I refused to extend Miljenko's mudslinging (even though both posts contained enormous distortions and considerable hyperbole) because one round of this junk in this public forum is enough. >>

You challenge me with:

<< And I challenge you to compare the publication records of Ariad and Regeneron. Not even close...but oops! I forgot...the science doesn't count (and it also doesn't count that I'm on public record on SI that I sold about 98% of my ARIA holdings about 6 months ago...but why in the <expletive deleted> should I have to explain this to YOU??).>>

and I accepted challenge (does science count?) with:

<<You are not serious about REGN’s versus ARIA’s in house science? If you really believe in this (you may be the only one) I am proposing bit different challenge. Let see (with appropriate bet) what will be science contribution to each company market value, said three or five year from now (or whatever you chose as time frame), measured as stock price. Whatever you bet, I will double if you win. However, If I win with X-time difference, you will pay X-time my double, and vice versa. >>

Is this also *mudslinging* and *junk*, or you are CHICKEN?

Miljenko

PS: To all,

RE: Rick investigation about Ron's fraud on SI?
Yes, I can confirm that Rick did uncover true nature of Ron multiple names on SI and his fraud. He pointed this to me.

Also when Ron returned to SI as Scott, Rick was first to observe and make as aware of his return.
