After the top in the market, and the coming fall that porch was brutal. So many so called friends just turning on each other. Their porch is just full of people with shotguns >> It is an honor <ggg>. Not many people left over there. The sad thing is there are a few good folks there that I enjoyed conversing with when I was there....rr, murray, jp and a few others. But then you had people like Jim, Dealer, Tim, Jill and etc, that ruined the whole porch and turned it into what it now is.....a dictatorship, with about 10 citizens. Anyway, like I said, I onlt popped in over there every now and then, and yesterday, with SI being dead, I popped in and frankly, I was shocked to see tim going at stockman scott like he was. I guess I shouldnt be shocked at tim going after somebody, as that seems to be his main hobby, but stockman stock?? Did you read some of tims posts concerning scott? Man, either I am missing something, or something aint right. I have never seen scott post anything but news, useful links to news, information and etc....seemed pretty honest and upfront, with no agenda that I could tell, except to exchange info....In fact, I know ALOT of people on SI that like scott. But the porch would prefer to let tim do his thing and attack one of the nicest guys on SI. I'm sure if you showed a history of posts of both scott and tim, and then take a popularity count, scott would win hanfs down. 75% of tims posts are simply atagonizing, instigating posts, patting himself on the back and accusing the rest of the world of being wrong, while he is always correct. I look at scotts posts and see a guy exchanging info, posting opinions, not instigating or attacking anyone. Oh well, life goes on....they banned me over there a couple years ago, then unbanned me and invited me back, but I didnt go. I just popped over once or twice to say hello, so believe me, it is no big loss. I feel like I've just been tossed out of Iraq. Can't feel bad about that!! Who wants to hang out in a dictatorship such as that? Not I, and that is why I quit going there, even though they invited me back last year. The few bad apples were not worth the aggravation just to chat with the folks I liked. Listening to tim and etc all day.....nope, not worth it, so I chose not to go back. And now they banned me again. Just too funny!! Maybe they'll put my "capture" on TV and ridicule me<ggg>.
