G'Morning Paul,I'd like to make a few comments, although I'm sure there are some here who won't like them... Well, in most cases that is a fact. WITHHOUT even reading your post, you are disagreed with. Your history here has earned you that. Most won't even read your post, they just get angry and reply to "you", not your post, or they just hit "next". While I have noticed what on the surface has appeared to be a change of tone in your posts lately, others haven't. Some have even questioned why I am now buddy buddy with you simply because I had a back and forth with you over MM activity. Heck, I was just having a discussion, and I was marked "enemy". No telling what this post will gain me. The trouble (IMO)is, #1, you are having fun at other's mental expense, NOT TO MENTION your own. It's hard for me to imagine anyone sitting for so much abuse when they had no vested interest. Heck, I even got to the point where I "cringed" everytime I saw the words "Playground Paul" but you didn't seem to care. You didn't deny anything, you kept coming back for more. Glutten for punishment. (Don't reply back that by staying with this company we also are gluttens for punishment because that is totally different. We DO have a vested interest in this; OUR company. We paid big bucks to be "gluttens for punishment"!)) #2. There are some who didn't come to this thread until after you dropped your "concerned citizen" routine and fell into the "your a bunch of moronic idiots" routine. That didn't win you any fans. In fact, it was that type activity that just ran people underground. They didn't all sell by any means, they just took it away from this thread. There has been positive information and dd going on, but people are shell shy to post it for fear of getting a bunch of trashing, "your FOS" posts back to them. Who needs the verbal abuse on top of the (temporary) financial beating we are already undergoing?? While your, (and other's) intent may have been honorable, the delivery was deplorable...period. It is unexcusable to keep attacking people you have no business even talking to. To even go as far as to post that we are a MENSE "experiment"??? Lab rats?? Give you opinions and go on. It is this mentality that I find the hardest to figure out in this SI world. Both positive and negative dd should be posted here, otherwise we WOULD be naive beyond imagination. However, post it and move on, don't get that "father mentality" that if we don't take your opinions and swiftly move on them that we need to have it beat into us. We're adults, we can digest information and make our own minds. Keep it up and we just dig in our heels, stubborn; no matter how much sense someone may make. (Human nature) Anyway...I haven't read the rest of the thread. Your's was my "good morning, welcome to SI" post for the day and I replied before reading any further. Who knows, you might have already heard all this, or I might be trashed on down the line for last night's post. Nothing surprises me around here anymore. I hope you do consider your mission accomplished; this "just another zombie, living dead of the stock markets". Perhaps the shell shy "munchins" can come out come out where ever they are. <g> You explained yourself. I replied. Have a good day, E'Lane btw..."a former basher"??? Hummm, so they do exist, huh? Wonder who that "former basher" was. I know I'd sure like to send him a thank you note for sending you our way. (RELAX people, that was sarcasm!)
