Anyone who has known me on Silicon Investor threads thru these past years know that I do not have a hidden agenda, but I am sure that they think I do, just as you do. I did not realize that I sounded arrogant and I most certainly never said anywhere that someone should be investigated or that I am investigating someone. Please show me where I did say that as you implied in your post. You say strange bedfellows, Tony and myself. Well I will leave it up to your investigations to uncover what you think might be going on. I think that most would say that I am a pretty friendly kind of a gal who accepts most personalities and people here online. Some I like what they and some, I don't. Most of the people mean nothing to me as they are just a poster with no face or real name. Some are friends who have enriched my life. Mostly, I do not like to see anyone get taken in as I once was. It does hurt. I also, as you know by now, can become quite outspoken when I feel a wrong is done. This all started because of banning and suspensions and an outright violation of TOU by one of the thread leaders. As far as banning you, the one and only thread that I ever started here on SI that I can remember, but I might have started one in fun some years back, was the Tim Luke Petition thread. As I promised on another thread, you can see that it is no longer moderated as I took care of it as soon as I got in from dinner with the help of someone one online. I had no intentions of banning anyone really and most who know me, know I wouldn't have. You come across like you want to be banned from threads. Do you? Silicon Investor was for me, at one time, a place to just be silly, laugh at jokes, meet some nice folks, and learn about the stock market etc. etc. etc. There are so many wonderful threads here on SI where there is such respect for eachother, such as the Gorilla Game, Ikes thread, and I am sure many others that I have never been on. The trading sites seem to be where the most disruptions comes about on SI. I see you live in Chicago also according your profile. My profile is also here for all to see. Would you like me to fill it in more for you? I have nothing to hide as far as I am concerned and I am sure you will find out a lot about me as you go thru my old posts which I am sure that you have already started to do. sweetie..tulip...what's up with this. If you wanted a date with me, seeing you live in my town, you could have sent me a PM directly. I do have expensive tastes such as some of those fine restaurants on Randolph street. I also have a dear friend who owns a bank that you might know and I think you must then know some of the people that I know who built some of the great buildings that are in our wonderful city. Oh...some more information on me, I am in love with downtown and our harbors in the city. Have you seen Burhham Harbor construction site? They tore up the north end this year and all the property around the Club. It sure will be beautiful when they finish the concrete and landscaping. Do you think it will be done by May 15th when they bring the boats in? I hope that the investigative page that you have on me will be filled in with the information I have shared with you. Lola provided you also with some information about me which I posted on another thread. Do you think a recipe thread would be appropiate? How about downhill skiing? Now those are some more of my interests as well. I am not being sarcastic, just telling the truth of who I am. I almost feel like a movie star with all the attention I am getting this past week on SI. Off now to have some hot Ovaltine, let the puppy out, and get some beauty sleep now. Patricia
