>>>I'm pretty sure that Mr. Davis is not an employee of the TSE. I thought that he was a Governor of the options exchange, but I could be wrong. As a trader, Mr. Davis certainly is a CUSTOMER of the TSE.

The article that was posted said he was an options trader on the TSE. That's the extent of my knowledge of Mr. Davis' employment history.

>>>1) I don't think that any of Mr. Davis' remarks could be characterized as tatsteless. Scathing, Sarcastic, or Satirical would be more accurate.

Well, I did say disrespectful, not tasteless. Having not read his entire history of posts, I'll take your word on your description of the content.

>>>2) The sports analogy is a bad analogy. First, in the real world, the "referee" can't put you in the "penalty box" without due process. Second, Mr. Davis has the right to free speech.

You've obviously never remarked "I have a bomb" inside of an airport. ;-) Let's just agree to disagree because we have different beliefs. Just keep in mind we're in a thread that deals with blanking out television programs (i.e. censorship), which I support.

By the way, how's PTI working out for you these days? I decided to take profits before the recent dive, but that's a topic for a neighbouring thread.
