Tim,
First, I will use one of tom's more prolific answers he gives when he wishes to skirt the issue :
" You could Be right"
However, I wont skirt the issue's, I will adress them quickly and then move on, as I see no reason in wasting time on this.
<<You say you write exactly what you are thinking..... and that is exactly how you come across to us....... insensitive, rude, thoughtless, mean, etc. (not ot mention inaccurate).... you may not think you are being rude or insensitive, but that is precisely how your posts read RE: Tom.>>
Come across to US?? Are you Tim, or are you US? I have no doubts that others feel exactly as you do....I readily admitt that. However, are you man enough to readily admitt that you do not speak for EVERYBODY......would you like for me to proove that others feel as I do and others agree with my thoughts, like my posts and etc.....Sure Tim, lots of opinions and I have no doubt that many people feel as you do....but don't fool yourself into thinking that is the only opinion....in fact, dont think that is even the majority opinion, because it is not. Sure, the few diehard porchers that are left feel this was, but un ban everybody......and I think you'll see that your opinion of me, and others opinion of me is not the only opinion, nor the majority.man I tell ya....the porch has really dwindled...not many diehards left on here. I think if you did an porchers Poll, I would lose hands down....I think if you did an si poll, you may see that you don't necessarily speak for everybody and that quite a few people do not share your views....just those left here on the porch....and even some of you guys PM me about how downhill the porch has gotten...how off base tom is...how he can dish it out but can't take it....and these are things coming from people right here on the porch.....so yes Tim, I will not argue that there are many opinions and that many share your opinion of me. But there is also another side to that coin.
<<Unfortunately, you do hammer away at negatives while rarely ever discussing any positives or actually being supportive of Tom.....>>
I could dispute that, but it would be a moot point. I find that statement almost funny, considering how many times I have jumped to toms defense and gone to bat for him. But because I speak my mind and dont let anybody intimidate me, it's all perceived as negative. I dont care if it's tom, dick or harry...If I have something to say, I say it....I try to do so with respect, and if it's taken the wrong way, then it's taken the wrong way. What I find ironic in all this is your talking about respect...and talking about my posts being disrespectful........have you bothered to look at some of Tom's statements.......It's not like he's the walking book of sainthood. In fact, he tends to enjoy rubbing it in, mocking and jumping all over anybody that does not agree with him, yet if others treat him the same way, it is wrong. I really dont understand that at all.....if tom dishes it out to somebody, why should he, or anybody else be surprised when it's dished back. I love tom...believe it if you want, or don't, I really dont care, but that doesnt mean I have to agree with his every word or his every action, and frankly, lately, I see tom treating alot of people with disrespect, if thats what he chooses to do, then he needs to be prepared for his neighbors to treat him the same way......which doesnt seem to be allowed. Tom can mock somebody, make fun of them, put them down, but by god is somebody should treat him the same way....they will find themselves doing what I am doing right now...wasting time responding to ridiculous crap.
Anyway Tim....I really dont feel like discussing the rest of your post....it's like turning a mole hill into a mountain. You have your opinion and you are more then entitled to it.....and I have no doubt that others share your opinion....but it doesn't mean that opinion is correct, nor is it the opinion of everybody.....just those that are left here on the porch.....
happy trading....and yes, I fully expected to be taken to task from some porchers for my comments...after all, porchers can do and say as they please....they can put down others and treat others with disrespect, because they know any retaliation, will be met with a swift banning of that person.
keith......giving 2:1 odd's he is banned from the porch....yet again. |
