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 To: Spots From: James F. Hopkins Monday, May 11 1998 12:02AM ET 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.. Jim republic.net 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
