Maybe I am just an English Challenged Jewish Farmer, and that may be the reason i cannot understand why that post infuriated you. As far as my limited English goes, "Cool it please" is a very polite way to ask another interlocutor on the thread to lower the temperature of the discourse, but, I am always willing to learn if indeed that expression has nefarious and deridatory overtones. I for one, have not seen "Ani-American, Anti Israeli and or anti Jewish posts" here. By the way, I am an American, not an Israeli, and that is by choice. Last on that subject, people that express opinions about the US and or Israel, that are not in agreement with mine or yours are expressing their freedom of speech, which I will defend, even though, I may be in stark disagreement with their opinions. Hey, George and I are in complete disagreements on two major subjects, the ugly yellow (gold) and Israel's policy toward the Palestinians. Do you ever read me addressing him crudely? It seems George is slowly turning on Gold, so maybe, with courtesy, their is a chance to turn him on US policy toward Israel as well. (g) (How about it, George?) As for the bear being "overjoyed" at the misery of the bulls, I certainly am no bear (my zipped suit is a temporary affair, since I have openly "declared" the September bottom as the bottom of this bear market), I have noted many bulls picking on softie for his recent, possibly mistimed, bearish stance on EMLX and QLGC, possibly the "ganging" on the bears around this turnips garden is more prevalent than ganging on the bulls.
