Rick, A few weeks ago, I posted a note on this thread that referred to your greeting here as less than warm and hospitable. I also mentioned that had you responded in a more civil manner you may have been accepted here. You have constantly referred to the people who post on this thread as idiots and fools. Not all of us bashed you at the outset. After several months, you finally got to me. You and one or two others may have thought you were quite humorous. I did not. I have no problem at all with people not giving out e-mail addresses or using pseudonyms to post here. In various posts, you talk of "taking the high ground" and "in the broad light of day." It does bother me that a person who hides behind a shield of anonymity would make those outlandish statements. You have taken confrontation to another level. Of particular consternation to me is your constant referring to Tim O'Brien as "Father Timmey." You have time and time again claimed he is doing one thing and preaching another. Tim has often claimed to be long on CCEE. Now, let's assume that a person who trades against a position in a stock while maintaining an inventory of that stock is still considered to be long on that stock. That being the case, please show me where he 1) stated that people should buy and hold and 2) ridiculed you for telling people to take tax losses. I have looked for that information through thousands of posts on this thread and am unable to locate those references which, by the way, seem to make up a great deal of your argument about some evil secret e-mail thread in which people are trading all sorts of secret inside information about CCEE and you. If you cannot provide me with a sound basis for calling a respected member of this thread a liar, then you should apologize to Tim and the thread in general. If you can show me that Tim has urged people to buy and hold while trading the stock, I will apologize to you for any remarks I have made about you that you find uncalled for. Steve T.
