Thread, a private message to me follows which
shouldn't be private.

I apologize for for the intrusion, but it isn't
my intrusion. I won't engage with James,
but I will post any flames he sends me.


Private Message

Spots I don't really know who you are but your understanding
of civil does not match mine.
I came on with a sense of humor, and Stitch dropped to the personal
level with accusations that I had resentments..so he started the crap
now you start with "Please" and then drop to accusations of
animosity..that's very petty to me.

Untill the bears started getting to a personal level I was more
than civil, in fact humorous , and I'm still more than civil with this privet
message considering you take it on you self to play cyper cop on the
puplic thread..
Stitch can defend himself if he wants to..your piling on is
ignoble..the whole thing started with a simple statement by me
that the thread was bearish..message 11860. Well maybe before
that with Message 4387261
were does he get off talking like that to me..

Stitch for some reason followed his act, now you want in the
fray..look if you start crap then know your subject to get
some , I don't have any thing to prove to any of you,
and no obligation to do so, my postitions as a trader have
been clear all along. I have not posted all my bets as it
was going fast for a while..but seems to me the bears get all
jacked out of shape if any one makes a long bet and drop
to a personal level with inuendos and accusations..
they like to dish it out but don't like it back..

So you don't want to take it lightly, make my day
take it as hard as you want to..but any more personal
attacts by you and your crew and and I will take it to
the wall and just see how much power you got.
Jim
BTW the way I consider a message that starts with
Please and then drops to a threat as rather twisted.
If you don't want to see it degenerate don't try to
throw gas on the fire, remember If you play in
a cess pool you will get it all over you.
I only elected to go privet with this because previously
you seemed to be an ok type person..and you did at least use
the word please.
Other wise I would've rake you over in public for acting like
the thread belongs to you.
Also
I find it odd that so many people will say things over the internet
that they would never say to your face..
Me I'm just the opposit I'm rather mild over the internet..
compared to the way I would react to some of this crap
if it were not for being on the internet..
----
My advise to you is leave well enough alone before you and
your ingonito friends let your mouths over load your rearends.

I'm still betting I will make money on APM and on the long
side, and that should not be cause for all the panic it seems
to create.
As far as I'm concerened I've been rather generous with the way
I have dealt with the so called well informed opinions, that
in the first place started being addressed to me in a condescending
maner and in the second demanding..
Being I'm by trade I'm a Captain I'm not accustom to that crap,
also I feel that a little quid pro quo might do you or him
or whats hisname some good..

Following is the message I'm being denigrated about.

James, please back off. Stitch has been a major and
thoughtful contributor to this thread. I, for one,
respect his opinions and want to hear more of them.

He is very well informed, and posts information supporting
the bases for his opinions here for all of us to read
and appreciate. Even those too lazy to do their own research.

I guarantee that I am not alone here in this view.

There is no case for your animosity. Please desist.

This is one of the most informative threads on SI,
and one of the most civil, regardless of one's opinion
of APM, and I will not see it degenerate lightly, nor,
I'll bet, will others here.

Spots

James, as I said at the time, it is quite a dangerous profession, stepping in front of freight trains. We are down more than 30% since we broke the last support around 10. Not a pretty sight.

Stitch, thanks for the warning!!!
