Hi jp I read your post and I laughed out loud. I'm writing it out, instead of just saying LOL, because I really did laugh. I was laughing at how easy it is for all of us to misunderstand. And, we all do it. All of the time. I do it constantly. And, you know, it is all so very, very silly - our misunderstandings and our egos and our anger. I take full responsibility for being turfed off of Polvie's thread. I posted a riddle - which I really did think was funny. Maybe funny in a hurtful way, but I don't think so. I think Tom would be the last person to take offense to the punch line of the riddle which was "Tom Cock". But, then again, what do I know. I could be wrong. Apparently five other people did think I was wrong and took offense. You can't please everyone and I don't set out to. But I'm not sorry for being me and saying what I say. And if that results in a censor, so be it. But, all you have to do is censor me once. I tend to take people at face value. Annette posts me - I think it was a fun post and I take it as such. Maybe that's not the way she intended it. I have no idea what her intentions are. Wstera wanted to dump the Canadian. He said he didn't mean anything personal towards Canadians - and five other people believed him. So there you go. Back to the interpretations again. Anyway, jp, re the market. I'm not currently in RMBS. I had some, I sold - made a little which is good. I'm holding the Q and the J and I'm comfortable with it. We've yet to make our annual contributions to our RRSP's and with it we might very well invest in RMBS. Don't know yet. You take care too, jp and thank you. rose.

Hey, jpgill..."fellatio" is the word, buddy. ... seems to be acceptable by both you and SI Admin, as long as it's 'delivered,' with graphic description by, evidently, someone that you admire on SI Cyberspace ... as we see no objection from you about the 'sentiment' -- on that board or this: Message 14732235 ... I see that you have no problem with the reference on the 'real' V's Porch ... you're religious, correct? Yet, you have 'problems' with others ... on this board ... testing the censorship 'rules' ... seems you approve of some 'using profanity,' but not others. Message 14486288 So, where exactly DO you stand, jpgill, on profane and vulgar 'prose' on message boards? You will recall that Rose and I tested this board and SI deliberately posting 'profane words,' including the comedian George Carlin's "Seven Words That Will Never be Uttered on TV" ... Rose and I are not people who use the 'language' to apply to our real lives ... as some others seem to, however ... like JW and Voltaire. That's okay with you, though, correct? Might get some cash out of it ... following their 'views' and 'expertise.' It's quite okay for these men to use vulgar and profane and sexist degrading images on SI message boards ... because ... because ... why don't you tell us, jpgill? Why you 'respect' such concepts and have no objection to such strange remarks from certain people and not others? ????????????????????????? 'b-i-a' ###
