BullyBear ~ You should have signed that piece as it might end up being a 'Masterpiece'. Not because of any new information that was shared but because it apparently came from heartfelt frustration of how this board has been allowed to deteriorate. As you are obviously aware, the board has become an antagonistic volley of wit. I also have to confess that I believe this board (not just FTEL's thread) needs to be open to both the positives and the negatives. But there NEEDS to be an option for readers to disregard the writings of those that they find offensive. I find JHP's posts extremely offensive. For someone to hide behind an anonymous veil and TAUNT other readers of their losses or potential losses is at the very least, distasteful. I in no way am speaking from the place of being better than someone else, but it would seem to me that there is something missing in that person's outlook. I know that VS continues to announce that he 'will be vindicated'. Is that not the same thing? To say 'I told you so'. Where is the payoff??? Even if he were to be proven right as time passes, how could that bring satisfaction? Am I missing something here that they forgot to teach me in Kindercare? I just don't see it! It would be like me saying to someone, "I heard you have skin cancer, I WARNED you about those tanning beds." And you and Seth are right BullyBear, there is an injustice here. There are people that have been banned from this board that has contributed untold volumes of vital information regarding this investment. How is it that they can be removed for violating the 'terms' and then someone remain with posts asking 'Are you having fun?' [with your loss]. If the 'terms' are so strict and unforgiving that contributers with an honorable track record can be sent off the thread without explanation and then someone 'new' shows up and spews garbage and they remain, then the damn 'terms' need some fixin(sic). I, like Seth will remain posting to this board and try to keep the 'uninformed' from becoming the 'misinformed'. It is not often that I have something worthwhile and informative to share (teets gone dry) but I will linger if for no other reason than to expose the possibilility (excuse me, probability) that there is something worthwhile being destroyed. Bully, you wrote: There are many people in this world who realize that helping a fellow traveller is an act which actually helps ones self. I have been privileged to have known many such people and I appreciate them. Maybe I can say the same of you[JHP] and of ValuSpec some day, but for now I cannot. Damn, Wish I'd said that. ~ Jack
