«Do you WANT me to ban you?» Please do: Yes, pls do ban the guy. He's mocked one of my rare once for no apparent reason and he keeps doing it to many people. I just come here to read & talk about my stocks find out about others. Other than a few interesting posts he comes up with once in a while, he's pretty useless let's hold a vote P.

"Do you WANT me to ban you?" of course not !!! Why not just end this and stop bashing ARU? What I said was true. You have been in and out of it so often the hinges on the door are squeeking. You have never been right on your trades on it and from where I sit it appears you have lost quite a lot on it, sorry to see. I feel sorry for those who watch your every move as it can make one dizzy. It's one thing to moderate a thread but it's another to involve everyone in your family trading accts as if you are some kind of cult figure like 'Tommy' and his holiday camp pinball machines'. Anyway if you don't like ARU then stay out of it, like I stay out of CKG, is my opinion. This isn't petulance, it's free speech. I really just diss CKG because some here do the same with ARU. What I resent, if the truth be known, is that if anyone suggests that the political risk in Canada is greater than Ecuador (which is true) they get bent right out of shape and if I happen to defend Ecuadors right to a royalty some would use the opportunity to make political hay out of it, start with the 'ralph is a leftist' thing and you say nothing to them even though you are aware that the mgmt here will jump on certain individuals if they participate in this kind of discussion, left and right stuff, you know what I mean.. But the straw that broke the camels back with our friendship is your contention that it isn't you who is in control here and that you are not the one that runs to the mgmt but rather someone else, fair enough!, but that's not the issue. The issue is that you accused me of engaging in a political discussion only days after I got a weekend suspension and never apologised for your mistake. I had engaged no one whatsoever but was simply warning someone not to do the very same thing you said I did. Although this was important you acted as if it wasn't although there may have been a risk that mgmt might chastise me again. You seemed not to care and that's not how friends behave, nor is it what someone fair, who is at arms length, does. I think you were simply waiting for an opportunity to jump on me, you and your dozy dozen posse members that always show up when someone says something negative about me. THAT's what is bothering me. I phoned you about it and appealed to you to look over the posts but you evaded the issue as you usually do. If you recall last month, that's why I said you were not fit to moderate this board because you don't know how to be even handed and fair. It is my opinion that you can't analyse a discussion properly or are too lazy to go over the posts to see if you maybe, God forbid, made a mistake. So while I like this board and get many private messages of support from ones who may be intimidated, by your posse, and don't want to publicly show their support for me, that support and friendship and respect does exist and so that's why I stick around. Do you want to just ban people because you don't like them? Oh well it's your board and it wouldn't surprise me. Now if you want to stay friends as you suggest then get on the ferry this weekend (or at your earliest) and meet me here and we can work things out, not by some silly vote as the video guy, or piano guy or whoever he is suggests, but we will sit and discuss the whole thing. Anyway he (Piano 'lynchmob' Man) is not qualified to judge this situation because only you and I know the details that we discuss offline. Frankly I'm surprised you want to air it here, it smacks of a set up that only you can win because you have your finger on the button.
