Obviously I'd love to respond to such a directly provocative and personal attack, however since it was made very clear to me by Agoracom this morning that I may no longer respond in a mannner that may offend a certain individual, I regretfully must decline. It should be noted that while conversing with Agoracom I did mention that a certain un-named individual also be included in being more civil in order to be fair and un -biased. However judging by the post to which I'm replying to, that request was either not made or ignored by a certain un-named individual. Now of course this certain un-named individual just happens to hold the rank of president and is hub leader,,Maybe it's just a coincidence.

FYI to have a postion challenged is not an attack, especially when the work is questionable.When oppinions and estimates are presented as facts one must accept to be challenged. When the individual presenting the challenge is then attacked, with the intent being to discredit the individual to further ones agenda, don't expect the individual not to respond.

No, my intention is TO PREVENT this board from becoming another Stockhouse. Statements must be challenged, estimates presented as facts must be challenged.You can't have a fair and honest discussion when one individual can dictate the topic of conversation and decide what constitutes facts as opposed to oppinions.

If you guys want a board in which one certain individual, put in a position of authority, can bully anyone opposing his position with impunity, then float your boat.

Whether you like it or not, when those with dissenting views are bullied and censored, you're left with nothing more than a Propoganda Ministry. Although I rarely go to Stockhouse, at least they let posters settle diffences among themselves instead of through censorship.

In case this is my last post ,as the vultures of censcorship are circling, been a slice.. Hope you enjoy the monologue..
