Well, I actually lurk in a lot of threads. AOL isn't the only position I have, but it is a substantial one. That's why you keep finding me here, since its a bear thread. Someone has to be the opposing voice :) I don't work for the AOL PR dept. - funny that one would think that just because I stick around. I'm not sure where anyone got the idea that I was bashing you shorts/bears. I'm not the one making comments about the stock "going to $30" and "bigger idiots." In fact, I don't ever remember posting anything that would say AOL is going to "x". The only form of bashing I have done would be an I told you so. But if someone can't take that form of jabbing, they shouldn't be investing in the market. S.

PaulW,you wrote<Because I'M not SHORT you moron. Did you get dropped on your head as a kid? > Tut,tut. May I suggest you take a course in anger management. There's an unwritten rule on SI that we treat each other with a degree of respect, even if you strongly disagree with that person's differing opinion, humor, or lack of it. I believe my post that angered you was directed at Sam through William. So, if he took offense to it, let him make the statement here. I don't think Sam, or anyone else here, wants you to act as their verbal abuser.
