"I think you just don't want to admit you enjoyed people harassing me on my forum and were sad to see them leave." Why would I not want to admit that? Considering how often you complained about the way the Brinkers dealt with the harassment and attacks on their boards, I saw it as poetic justice. Thanks for the admission. But, you are making the mistake many on the Yahoo boards make of attributing everything bad said about Brinker to me. This is not true. People on Yahoo's board have blamed me for everything from planters warts to AIDS in Africa, if it was said by anyone to show Brinker in a bad light. I do recall saying he should have answered the charges and not tried to cover up his mistakes then he could have kept his boards open as I have kept mine open. I think you are a sick person to think I should be harassed for being honest just because I was critical of Brinker for NOT coming clean about his QQQQ disaster with his PAYING CUSTOMERS who were the only ones allowed to post on his site when he shut it down. Very sick to think I deserve being harassed and lied about simply because I am critical of Brinker covering up his off the books advice. I thought your dealings with Bbaddict on your board were heavy-handed and undeserved. Same for Dija. Do you call their posts harassment? Funny, I got two emails from two different readers in the last 24 hours complimenting me on how I handle troublemakers like those two who would misquote me, make up things that I didn't say, etc. then refuse to admit it when confronted. I get quite a few of those on a regular basis and not a one complained about how bbaddict was treated. In fact, most (lets say Many so I don't have to give a count) of my regulars who contribute INVESTING CONTENT wanted me to kick him off (notes sent via email) because he was disrupting the value of the site. Again, you are biased and like to see me get harassed and lied about for some sick reason. The people who value what we do, mostly people light-years beyond the nonsense of Brinker, were happy to see them both go. I told someone just today via email that he was welcome to post, but to please make sure it added value. I told him how we "encouraged" a few troublemakers to leave who posted often and it was harmful for the site because people wouldn't bookmark a site to read each day to see the pissing contests you and a few others seem to enjoy. We actually get more hits with fewer posts... quality trumps quality for sure.
