It wasn't fire you were fighting, and it wasn't fire you were fighting it with .... and i was here, 'weighing in' [actually, trying to lighten it up, but good luck with that in this climate, aargh] .... remember 'koala tea of Merci'? - Message 20807375 ... message to you was, [and i thought you got this], i figured G was more to be pitied than feared .... Tom's message from that time i take to be more or less similar, though better and more plainly spoken ... your reaction here surprises me, but it's not the first surprise on Morons lately Anyway, while you're already angry, might as well get hung for a sheep as a lamb - i vote nay to your original moron nomination of Christine .... reason being that it fails established community standards of moronosity, in that it was not about some stupid scam stock, it had nothing to do with investment at all, it was just some political/social values issue, in which every participant is somebody else's moron, and there is no sport in potting any of them By the same standard, all the chain overreactions following on Christine's post are ineligible .... so, only a few hundred more posts to go before all this is settled, i guess eh ....

Hey BW, sometimes people don't step in because they don't want to have a dog in the fight... i.e. they might consider both you and Gray as good pals. From a third party who knows you both, the two of you have more in common than what may seem apparent for this current incident. Doesn't that just frost the cake. " Didn't see you weighing in that Graystone had gone off his nut until I started fighting fire with fire and after everyone else has commented."
