O/T with apologies to thread. GZ, you said "All I did was ask her to explain her judgemental comment... is that a problem for you?" I enjoy reading your posts too much to enjoy getting into a 'spitting' contest with you, but since you asked, it's not a problem for me that you asked her to explain her comment. But now you've upped the ante by characterizing it as "judgemental" and yeah, I do have a problem with that. My reading of her original observation, that it's a shame that "Ike's stocks and market reads are becoming diminished among all the noise", is that the appeal of this thread would suffer if it became a mere clone of other, minute-to-minute trading threads that have lots of activity/posts, but generally little insight and perspective of the markets such as Ike likes to give. Frankly, I'd rather hear from Ike on this thread than you about your specific trades, or anyone elses. I DO like to read about yours and other folks' buy/sell activities, but think there are plenty of other threads that are more intended for that purpose than this one. As to the subject of "threats", that's your word, not mine. If you are so thin-skinned to misread that into my words, that's your problem. All I intended to express was that she is a respected and followed contributor to SI. Is she perfect? Am I? Are you? Heck no. I don't even agree with her all the time, but I hope I'm always courteous and respectful, and if others don't choose to be, I'm going to say something about it. If you want to continue this discourse, please private mail me. Best regards, Paul
