You have that right, Bill. As I said previously, only the ones who do not challenge his sense of being the king, stay within his graces. You, unfortunately, probably haven't seen the last of his requests, as I doubt he will be able to go cold turkey from SI. This has been like a drug to him, and he will find it tough to quit. I wouldn't be surprised if he ponies up another $125, under another name, just to feed the habit.

I guess you'll have to decide whether you want to continue as his conduit here. I'd be interested to know if he continues correspondence with you. You can PM me if you'd like.

I guess we could also just make this thread the "Flame INFO_DART" thread.<ggg> Nah, it wouldn't be worthwhile if he wasn't here, to bring his unique constructs to the table.

May as well let dead darts lie, huh?

Bill,

I understand and respect your point. I believe Info Dart is a person with some problems and probably needs help. I do not hate him. I feel sorry for him.

Just to set the record straight, Info Dart claimed that S.I. expelled him without notifying him. I doubt that is the case. They seem to deal with him in a very delicate and sensitive manner. I had requested sanctions against him because he created a thread today for the sole purpose of encouraging others to insult and belittle me. This was very childish and inappropriate.

I asked S.I. to confirm for me that he was expelled, but they would not do so, saying they do not give out any information regarding the account of another member. S.I. would not tell me what action, if any, had been taken. I applaud that manner of handling it.

I would not have known Info Dart had been "toasted," as you say, unless you had posted his remarks to that effect. I believe he felt he needed the last word. And he got it. Literally. And that shows the type of person he is. Sadly, he probably still does not understand what he did to get himself booted off the board.

I regret very much this incident occurred, but I am relieved it is now finished. I would like to focus on discussions more related to investing and trading. You did a very kind and generous thing by posting I.D.'s final remarks, and I believe it speaks highly of the kind of person you are.

Good luck to you.

Bill
