"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." In you didn't complain about how the Brinkers dealt with the harassment and attacks on their message boards, then I apologize for saying that you did. "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." OK, you think I'm a "very sick" person. Understood. But why do you find it necessary to put words in my mouth like the above? "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." One would expect that most of the people who don't like the way you run your Brinker boards have gone elsewhere, so the fact that the people who are still on your boards like the way you run them doesn't prove anything. "Again, you are biased and like to see me get harassed and lied about for some sick reason." Why do you find it necessary to keep going on the attack like that? I made a comparison between SI and Yahoo. You're the one who brought up my opinion of your boards, and started asking questions about it (see 22292). Now you're using my answers to your questions as a reason to attack me. We disagree on whether you run your boards in an impartial manner. Why not just leave it at that?

Geez. Both math and I agree with you that brinker is wrong to try to hide the QQQ fiasco. There are a "million" reasons people harass you, and that is NOT one of them. kirk said: <<I get quite a few (emails) on a regular basis and not a one complained about how bbaddict was treated.

Anyone can go read those posts and see for themselves. As I saw it, the main problem was that few people understood the main points he was trying to make. You and honey either did not understand, or were simply acting as though you didn't understand, even though it was quite simple. Your attack on him for slightly misunderstanding one of your poorly-worded posts was absolutely despicable, IMO.
