As Josef Svejk would say, humbly speaking to understand Ray you need only look at this thread. Ray is here because of a nasty and slanderous personal attack by TokyoMex (or his evil twin since Tmex doesn't make personal attacks) on this thread about a month ago. An attack which no one had the guts to oppose or condemn. Ray although he had been posting on the AOL Tpro thread for 2 1/2 months never felt the need to bring his fight over here. Nor the need to impose his opinion nor the need to attract attention here. Nor the need to justify himself here. Nor the need to protect his reputation all through cyberspace. Nor the need to inflate his ego here. And if he was trying to manipulate people and sow fear and doubt why didn't he try to do that here? But he never posted here until TokyoMex made his slanderous personal attack. Since we all so concerned about ethics here (sic). Anybody want to justify that to me? Attack somebody on another board when they have never even posted there? That day was the first time Ray posted here and it was in self defense. If you don't like Ray's presense here, tough. Blame Tmex not Ray. And that is very similiar to what happened on AOL. About 3 1/2 months Ray came on the AOL tpro board with a really innocuous post and was immediately attacked by some of the resident thugs on the AOL thread. Ray defended himself and that constantly degenerating personal feud is the reason Ray felt the need to gloat the other day - and has been gloating for some time. If you don't like Ray and his attitude once again - tough. He is the result of the truly nasty and vicious attitude on this thread and the AOL thread which is either condoned or tolerated. And although Ray has written a lot of regrettable posts I don't ever recall him personally attacking anybody for expressing their opinion. It is only those who attack him, that he has responded to in kind. Ray although I don't agree entirely with your TA, the bottom line is that you have been right about the stock consolidating at these levels and all the thugs who have been attacking you have been wrong. One last point Ray. I believe the attacks against you have been ugly and vicious. And they started it not you. But unfortunately I don't think you get anywhere by responding to them. Ignore them and they will go away for the most part. Stick to the facts and your opinion and people will judge you fairly or unfairly on that. If unfairly there is very little you can do about it, other then to calmly point it out and leave it at that. Particularly for anyone who hasn't followed the fight from the beginning it is hard to distinguish your posts from their's. One last point. An example to us all should be Karl. Karl has been wildly optimistic about this stock. He is the person who originally alerted me to the stock. But I don't remember a single post by Karl in which he even remotely made a personal attack. Which proves you can a rabid bull on this stock without at the same time being a first class bast**d. And it is true of a few others as well. RS
