Mr. Cleveland: Regrettably, these the Tavoids do not appear to be long on compassion. Fortunately, Mr. Pink, in Jesus-like fashion, is able to turn the other cheek, and love His enemies. Moreover, as you know and the others here will soon learn, Mr. Pink is motivated by His love of Truth and His passion for uncovering overvalued securities. His small 100,000 share short position is only almost irrelevant to His desire to see Truth prevail and to protect the individual investor. By the way, Mr. Pink's sincerest sympathy for your neurological problems, hopefully modern medicine has found a treatment from whatever it was that ails you. God bless you, Mr. P

Jonathan... I am sorry you mistook my comments for a joke, or anything that would demean people with real illness... that was not my intent at all. (Please read my entire post...) Regarding Mr. Pink: I made that comment to Mr. Pink not to make light of those with real problems, but simply because that is the image I get when I read his ramblings. And, granted, I used forceful imagery myself, trying to persuade Mr. Pink to examine his own behaviour. Many people who suffer from mental illness do so because they were victimized in their past, or because of an unavoidable illness/condition. However, I believe Mr. Pink behaves like he does simply because he has no heart for others, and because he doesn't believe in honesty. It is not a lifestyle that any of us should want to emulate. Regarding mental illness: My mother had a nervous breakdown in about 1964, when I was six, and over the years afterward developed a severe case of agoraphobia. In her later years, she would go for days without leaving our house, weeks without leaving our yard, and years without leaving our neighborhood. When I graduated from college, my mother came to Gainesville, FL, to watch me walk for my diploma. We then went as a family to Disney World. That was the last trip she ever took out of Panama City, FL, where she lived. The only other times I remember her leaving our neighborhood after that was to attend my wedding, and to go to the doctors/hospital while she battled lung cancer. She died in 1989 of cancer. My dad took care of her faithfully during the 25 years between her nervous breakdown and her death. During the last years, the high point of his week was his Rotary Club meeting every Thursday noon, where he could be with his buddies for a while. 2-3 years after my mother's death, he married a lifetime friend of my mom's, and he and she are traveling the world... all the places my mom would never go. I'm not telling you all this to try to whine, but to give you some assurance that I can empathize with those who truly struggle with these issues (like my mom, my dad, and the rest of my family did). And, I tell you all this to highlight the difference between those with real struggles and those with just a real basic lack of character. Loren
