Sergio - I can respect that point of view, but would prefer to see any ill-will, puffery, or attacks done via private channels. In a public forum such as this, on topics involving large amounts of money such as these, it goes without saying that differences in opinion and some personal attacks will occur. I try to remain extremely objective and help anyone I possibly can, and still become the target of those that seek, for whatever reason, to discredit me. Ultimately, how one chooses to respond to these types of posts speaks volume for the character of the person. In most cases, the attacker is looking for a negative response to further the attack, and as hard as it is not to respond in kind, you must let it go. If you have a good rep. on SI, you will not need to defend yourself to those who know you....in fact, those that do know you usually will defend first. There are many threads out there started by individuals and they, almost without exception, have become forums of egos and chest pounding, only to then give way to long winded attacks and debates. This does not happen here, and we all share the responsibility of keeping this thread hype free, spam free, and attack free. Thus far we have been successful, and I see no reason why we would not continue. Believe me when I say that you cannot "hang him out to dry" on a public forum like this. It will waste everyone's time and discredit both of you in the long run. I think the issue is dead now and emotions are back to where they should be. The market recently has caused a heightened sense of frustration that usually leads to these type of events. I think we can get back to, now, what we all want to accomplish..... making money. Good luck to you Sergio. Tj
