You want to play traffic cop now and tell people what threads they can and can't post on? If you want to know how the latest dispute arose, here's the chronology. It all started when DE Shetland on the Aber thread said the following: To: bill (340 ) From: D.E. Shetland Friday, Nov 14 1997 2:17PM EST Reply #341 of 363 Funny isn't it. It's amazing that companies with no cash and high hopes build on a few diamonds in a boulder can have market capitalizations of 100-200 million. Compared to ABZ with large, rich, economic pipes, an equal number of exploratory situations with great macro/micro counts, cash in hand, yet a market cap of 650mil. Ok, that's a good size and they might need to raise some (although they've always said that becuase of the richness of the ore, they might deficit finance based on sales contracts), but those new pipes would have skyrocketed the spec-y stocks. Oh well. Not much one can do. ***** After that, I was genuinely stumped as to which companies DES was talking about. The only thing I could think of was WSP pre- March 18, 1997. So I posted as follows: To: harold (345 ) From: Tomato Friday, Nov 14 1997 5:09PM EST Reply #346 of 363 Winspear fit that category before mid-March. Anything else? * * Pretty benign, don't you think? However, Godinger felt the need to post: \| Next \| Respond \| To: Tomato (351 ) From: GOLDIGER Saturday, Nov 15 1997 10:31PM EST Reply #352 of 363 Tomato, harold's perceptions are based largely on YOUR continuous attacks on Winspear Management. * * * * So it seems, besides impugning the intelligence of one "Harold" and his ability or inability to weigh SI posts as a factor in picking stocks, that Goldinger seemed to have the need to attack me again. On other matters, dear Goldinger, I'd love for you to go ahead an sue me for defatation as you threaten, but last I checked, fictitious persons don't have standing in court to sue. (Digression) "Here ye, Here ye, the Honorable Court calls the case of Goldiger vs. Tomato. All those having business before this honorable court, please be seated." COURT CLERK: "Mr. Goldinger, please state your full name and spell it please" "Goldiger. G-O-L-D-I-G-E-R" Atty: Mr. Goldiger, what is your current address? G: SI. I live on several threads there, but lately sleep on the WSP thread. Atty: And you say the remarks of Tomato have injured your reputation. Could you please explain how. G: Well, I've notice that people on SI bookmarks have been erasing their e-mail addresses lately in larger and larger numbers, so now I can't email them as much and give them hell when they don't agree with me. * * * * Perhaps if you wish to state your real name I'll give you the chance you imply you're waiting for. Kind of interesting, though, how you readily admit to sending harassing e- mails to other people on this thread. Could that constitute a crime? As for hacking, you probably didn't, but it was remarkable one day how one of your posts on WSP used phrases that paralleled phrases used in private Instant Message chats on a certain IP. Perhaps it was just an uncanny coincidence. But I've taken steps to see that my security on-line is better protected from anyone who wants to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. And the FBI and RCMP have units that work those sort of things. Probably just a coincidence, though.
