Wally, The tone of your posts is extremely diplomatic. You are to be commended for that -- it is a difficult to write such messages in such a way as to not be condescending... However, since you are still discussing this with me in public, I feel obligated to reply: It establishes a particular standard of communication that, while not law, becomes endemic to the people who frequent it. The Marketgems thread has a generally accepted standard of communication, and it precludes many of the types of postings you have made. Rules which perhaps are followed by the sheep, but not the wolf? I respectfully decline to post the offending private messages to me, however I will reiterate, they were not of your tone. I only went public when he went public. Action, reaction. You apparently don't wish to abide by the community standards established here, so if you stay, the natural assumption is that you derive some particular type of gratification from disruption and agitation. "A=B, B=C, therefore A=C" Aristotle begs to differ, as do I. You may feel that this is a "one on one" thing, as you put it, but most of us don't accept your judgment because we feel a sense of community. If you attack one of us, and especially someone who is generally respected here, you can expect to have many more of us rise to the defense. That's the way a community works. "...feel a sense of community?" Your opinion, but not necessarily the only one. Stand alone. You are not responsible for his actions. Why suffer the ramifications of his errors? Community? Ever hear of Jim Jones? David Koresh? Community is not always the best thing, as I am sure you are aware. And I find it extremely lame that he is reduced to having his minions throw insults my way because lastshadow cannot admit his mistakes, and I am not speaking of a stock pick. Keep looking. There really is a place for everyone in this world. You just have to search until you find it. Sorry we at Marketgems don't fit the bill. Thanks, but I'll be the judge of that. If you wish to discuss this more, I suggest you go private. That is, after all, the charm/hyprocrisy (your wc, my wc) of this entire thread, is it not?
