sorry for serving as catalyst for a purge the Monday Porch Massacre I used to be a nasty SOB occasionally at Staples and Digital I saved the constructive nastyness for staff meetings some sharp focused bold criticism marked those meetings often directed at inept manager who hurt people or procedures each brought about change each resulted in pats on my back afterwards sometimes people asked me to act upon their agendas since I could pull it off I didnt comply unless I shared the agenda MY MOTIVE IS BASED UPON PROTECTING THE LARGER SYSTEM this Porch can be a highly valuable mechanism for us investors it can also get cluttered with immaturity and destructive influence funny to be coming from me, a crazy jackass I am so outofline often that I cannot find the line I dont give a crapp about decorum, correctness, or propriety people tell me they couldnt get away with saying what I say that takes months of conditioning of the audience something I work hard on dont you guys worry about lil ole me Keith gave me a kick in the nuts, made me think but my nuts have coarse leathery outer shells I aint that fragile really Keith and I just exchanged a constructive message to each other I much prefer Moderated Threads the unmoderated type suffer cycles of de-evolution they become dominated by the petty, accusatory, loud, and immature moderation allows pruning, thus avoids "devo factor" this is a very real phenomenon I have seen it with corporate departments, church groups, etc we move on / Jim Willie (still a bonafide jackass)
