Sorry, everyone. But I feel like I've got to say something. Now I'll disappear again. Good luck all. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ Michael: I would like to respond to your recent barrage of allegations, as I find your approach to "crisis" resolution reprehensible. You obviously have been scorned, and you have an ax to grind with Joe Murphy - but this is hardly the place to do it. If you had a grievance with some legal "teeth", I think that you would be pursuing your case through those channels. You have made it abundantly clear in the past that you won't hesitate to bring legal action against someone when you have been wronged. Therefore, I have to assume that your "crisis" is personal, without a strong legal basis. This would certainly explain why you continue to make these thinly veiled accusations without providing any specific evidence. In my opinion, you are trying to bait Joe Murphy into a confrontation on this thread so that you can have a public airing of your frustrations. I, for one, hope that he continues to avoid this matter as I feel that this is not the place to address your issues. I don't know what happened between you and Joe, but I became very concerned about your attitude back in February when you started to publicly oppose him on the buyout. I was one of the one's who spoke against you on that matter, and I felt that you were way out of line. I would definitely characterize your actions as insubordination, and if Joe "tossed" you for that reason I would totally support that decision. What bothers me most is that you seem "hell-bent" on getting revenge at any cost. Even if it means hurting a lot of innocent people who happen to get in the way. And, yet, in the midst of all this you have the "balls" (pardon me) to tell us that you are doing all this for us. "Trust me, believe me. Even though I'm not giving you any good reason why you should." And then, you turn on anyone who disagrees with you and accuse them of being a mindless "Mooney". I, for one, am much more inclined to believe Joe Murphy at this point: First, he has done everything he said he was going to do over the last 5 months that I have followed this company (though not always getting the desired response; but, that's not his fault). That's hardly blind faith. Second, I'm here to make money, not give you a platform to deal with your personal "issues". You come here slamming the company that we all are invested in to make money, and then you expect us to jump on board you bandwagon and turn against Joe? (I would strongly suggest that you not pursue a career in public relations!!) As someone else already pointed out, I think that you are shooting yourself in the foot here. Do you think that DCI is going to be more inclined to deal with you now?? I doubt it very much. This is my advice: if you have a legal grievance, then use the channels that have been established to deal with those matters. If you don't have a legal grievance, then we're talking about sour grapes here. I, for one, frankly don't care if you feel hurt. You have done nothing to enlist my sympathy, you insult anyone who disagrees with you and you are making baseless accusations that are clearly going to hurt a company that I have my money invested in. I think that it's "put up or shut up time". If you have something to say, then say it. In plain English. In specific detail. If you can't do that, then I assume that there is no legal "crisis" as you have suggested. PA
