He's a guy on Investors Hub who is occasionally busting my chops, claiming three things:

1. I was a biased admin here who busted touts, not because they would break the rules, but because they posted positively about stocks in which, if they went down, I somehow profited. Never mind that most positive posters went unbusted. The fact that most of the people who invaded privacy, threatened people, or used inappropriate language happened to claim to be long the penny stocks in question (DGIV, RMIL, AZNT, MTEI, etal) is apparently all the evidence needed to show that I profited from stocks going down.

2. I might or might not have rolled a virtual marble into his universe no less than 15 years ago when I was a BBS user. Actually, in the 2-month timeframe between my buying my first modem and firing up my own board. He won't say in what manner I did so or even state positively that I did. Just keeps intimating that I did.

3. He was able to make me lose my temper when, after leveling all these accusations at me, he insisted I swear on my daughter's life that I never shorted a stock for profit. Actually, what he wants me to swear to changes each time I unequivocally (and too thoroughly for him, apparently) deny his latest allegation. He claims now that making me lose my temper was his motive all along and he did so to prove what an evil man I am.

Predictably, he refuses to offer any real proof for item 1 (to his credit, he acknowledges no proof exists) or even state what the heck item 2 is all about. He has an account here but has never posted, although I've been curious about the timing of his getting his account as it relates to the price of one of his stated favorite stocks.

But, yes, invoking my daughter's life or anything else about her (especially things that conjure up the idea of anything bad happening to her) is definitely a hot button for me.
