TLC, I would ask you what you are talking about, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with April Fool's day again. If so, sorry if authorities or whatever busted up the gag before it had a chance to "bloom" larger. I don't believe I have ever even posted to you, so I can't imagine how I could have insulted you so deeply that you attack so fiercely. . . Unless you have other handles on SI. . . Either way, sorry for hurting your feelings. As for art. I have worked my whole life in nearly every part of the art world and have been awarded often and rewarded generously for my efforts. If this is about the Motley Fool or similar gags that are done each year in the investment world, I must say: I PERSONALLY fail to see art in gags. . . But on the other hand, it can be argued that there is an element of "art" in a well executed bank robbery. . . or the effectiveness of a terrorist bombing. . . or in the business plan of a penny scam. . .so I guess a gag that simulates such, could have some art in it. Your accusations include: 1. . . don't tell me I'm flawed because I am an artist. 2. . . if you want to judge me, you better know what you are talking about before you open your mouth. 3. . . before you attribute it to some nutball's mental unstability On number 1, Not only did I not call you or anyone else "flawed because" you were "artists." I have not even referred to the word "artist" in several weeks. On number 2, "if I want to judge" you? I don't even know you, and I certainly am not interested in judging anyone. I have merely stated that I prefer that such gags stay off my thread, as they are disruptive. Furthermore, I must warn you that number 2 has a threatening tone which may or may not be in violation to the terms of use on SI. Finally, on number 3, again I have never called anyone a nutball. I would not say "unstability" because it is not a word. And I have not stated that anyone has mental problems. In fact a full-text search of the words "Rande mental" indicates that have not even used the word mental in the past 120 days. So again, your reference seems to be a fabrication. For one who claims they "don't mean this as a personal flame" , I can't help but conclude that your post is nothing BUT a personal and totally unprovoked flame. Good day sir, Rande Is
