Good Afternoon Ploutus,

Why would I not post now? I have shares on the books that I would like to receive compensation for...like the rest of those who held on. I am a positive person and this was and has been my favorite spec play. I played it every which way but loose and like most everyone else here had my hat handed to me time and again. Still I refused to give up and to this day have kept the faith.

Through the years many would ask my opinion either here or in PM and I could only answer with what I myself was going to do with this position...hold on. I would like to think that anyone who invests hard earned money....especially in a spec play such as this has done their DD and does not rely on the thoughts of a "cheerleader" as you call me. I lost money I was fortunate to be able to lose. Some lost their retirement savings, houses and minds. I get that. Do I feel personally responsible for each person that has ever posted here and their investments. NO. There are always 2 sides to the coin and I supported mine.

As far as banning realists??? I think in my entire time here I probably banned 4 or 5 people outside of the spammers who were a no-brainer. In all situations, back in the day we consulted among each other as Hub Leaders and then took the action. Each of my decisions was supported by the majority of leaders and Agoracom itself. One of the members here who was banned and probably shouldn't have been early on was Don. He is a perfect example of a realist and it took me several years to come to that conclusion. He was brought back by the masses and has remained an important part of this hub. That is the thing Ploutus, if someone was removed and the majority felt it was wrong then the decision was appealed to Agoracom Admin. Most of the time those decisions were upheld. Those that were not were reversed and the members remain here now. There is much that goes on behind the scenes that leads to someone being banned and the process is taken pretty seriously.

I do NOT have any regrets about my actions, posts, sentiment or anything else I did here. I was excited that Boss Kent invited me here and even though I was perceived as "Fluff" I took my responsibility here as hub leader seriously and tried my best to be fair. It has been difficult and I have lost many friends. Still I consider this my home. I can't speak for anyone else.
