Blah, blah, blah, let's forget the history now. -g Buried hatchets don't feel nearly so bad when you don't move them around. -g You are correct about the Phoenix. He rose out of the ashes of your banning, but he is a completely separate case. I have a feeling that his trip to the thread header, when it comes, won't be as brief.

"I didn't start in on Monty for being a bad person, I started in on him for making fun of someone behind their back" Jori, I did not realize that I needed to obtain approval from Gary before posting a link. But as far a making fun behind his back I have made fun of him to his face and was reported to SI Police. I am not afraid to make fun of anyone on the love in threads if they would not be such cry babies. CB tried to keep me out of jail several months ago but I would not take her legal advice. Now GFY. :=) Monty

"Maybe Gary doesn't play options that much and therefore doesn't know the nuances of each and every reaction." Why didn't he just keep his mouth shut rather than talk about something he did not know about. EGO's are sometimes expensive things to own. :-) Monty

One person called you a slimeball. Many people asked that you be unbanned. For the record, I don't think you are a slimeball. I think you are quick to anger, and prone to self-righteousness when provoked, but your defenses of Gary and of happy_girl showed loyalty, which is an admirable trait. You have many friends. The point about posting links to what other people posted and making fun of them was well-taken, and if you read the thread you should have noticed that we don't do that much anymore, we mostly post the links without comment. Others may comment, it's always interesting to see what other people are thinking. SI is about investing, and it's an open forum. So posting links and commenting on the ideas expressed is educational for all. I've seen quite a number of my own posts linked and commented on, usually accompanied with ridicule, so I know it's common practice. Ridicule is painful, but when there is a basis for it, that is educational, too.
