>>>I believe that some of the women pushed the envelope and got what they asked for<< Well I also work in the corporate world and and have trained and counseled harassment in the work environment. (As a trainer/instructor I had to be keenly aware of anything that could be construed or perceived by students as harassment by their peers)..and thus I take offense to the statement "that some women got what they asked for." Good grief, this is a stock message board. Yes, we are all bound by SI rules of good behavior and human nature decency. I can only speak for myself, but if I thought anyone said anything sexually out-of bounds, I wouldn't hesitate to say so publicly or in a PM. I don't hesitate to speak my mind when someone is investment bashing with no merit, why should this be any different? And to say "that some women pushed the envelope and got what they asked for" smacks of cave-man mentality, and is a totally inappropriate remark. Sensitivity is a key ingredient when telling an "off-color" joke or bantering in a lighthearted manner...believe me, I can be very serious when it comes to discussions of PNLK as I have done extensive DD and have a chunk of change also tied up in this company. But because PNLK is not as yet a full-reporting company, and many of us have waited through the lulls between the PR's, alliances, versions 1-3, and the IBE..that an occasional burst of merriment is not uncalled for to bring some comic relief through the frustrating times. Many of us who have been posting for a long time to this thread, have gotten to know the personalities through the writings of the various individuals and know many are decent human beings who mean no harm to the women who post on a regular basis. These are of course my opinions and if I have offended anyone, please feel free to send me a PM. Terri
