>>To be honest, even though VLAD might be a little offensive and upset. He does not deserve to be expelled. His knowledge on the medical and urology areas will only be appreciated. << Are you like implying things like I dont know nothin about these neurology watcha macall it things? I will have you know I can stand with the best of em. And I will also like post what macall it things for you. Just give me a chance I tell you, I aint like gona chop off your heads or anything, at least just yet.. In case you are wondering about todays move, FUD's are still selling but these ones are not desperate so they havent dumped. Good short covering and if you noticed we closed on a down tick showing traders now think its good to go long rather than short. Hopefully as long as no more FUD's dump stuff it should start moving up again with a pause @ 9 1/2 for a day or two.. VLAD 80 BY OCT!

OK, an explanation seems due. i never asked for anyone to be "expelled." i asked webmistress to "warn" him. and this was after i had tried many times here (in posts to VLAD) to convey that it's wrong for anyone to try to drive people off this thread because they're bearish on VVUS. VLAD has repeatedly told a number of people to go over to the bear thread, and, every time i've seen it, i've responded against, saying it is wrong to try to drive people away. last week i was "slumming" over on the bear thread and it seemed that Dale and Mike were kind of lonely over there, with most of their posts about things they'd seen while lurking over here. so i asked them to come back, and promised to defend them if they were attacked. well, it only took a few hours before VLAD told Dale to leave, and, after a few back-and-forths and howdys, with Dale keeping a civil tone, VLAD made that vulgar taunt to him about a place where the moon doesn't go. this was too much! i don't care if someone seems paranoid, and thinks that Mike and Dale over there talking to each other about shorting VVUS can cause anyone to lose money but themselves--i can just read it and ignore it as nonsense. but this business of driving people away just had to stop, and i had promised Dale that i would do something. so i did. yes, i agree that any time a brawl occurs, there is a feeling of nastiness that lingers. but i've said it before, and i'll say it again. if this forum is about VVUS, there needs to be tolerance of other's views. it is just plain wrong to tell people who express bearish views to "go away."
