Chill out, WT. What I stated was my opinion IN RESPONSE to your comments here, just as several others have responded. You come here and express your OWN opinion on this stock and where you think it is headed. This I take no issue with. However, in light of our PREVIOUS INTERACTION, and in light I question the integrity of what YOU have to say here. I refer to your SELF-PROFESSED expertise of IT purchasing. As such you have put not just your words, but also your qualifications to make them is in issue. I simply have challenged YOUR qualifications to make your assessments on IT spending, and have done so in a civilized manner. If you feel this is a PERSONAL "attack", I cannot control how you feel. Nevertheless, I feel it very reasonable to challenge your qualifications to make the statement you have here, PARTICULARLY, when you have come like a bull in china shop essentially telling everyone else here that you understand ORCL's prospects for business better than anyone else here. So, in response, I say, if you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen. If you so thinned skinned, then I suggest you be a bit more humble in your assessments or arguments here instead of bolstering your arguments by pounding your own chest that you used to work in IT and therefore you know it all. Obviously, you don't; and therefore I stand behind what have said. Of course, you are free to "attack" me. I won't give a rat's ass what you think of me. Actually, I prefer to use the word "challenge" rather than "attack." I think "attack" is much too strong a word. I agree with you that attacks are unwarranted here; challenges, particularly in your case, are not.
