SGE,
You write, "I'm open to further discussion.... But we may be down to just differing opinions that won't change easily." I would say we are down to different agendas.
In my opinion, since tcr found out this board controls 50+ mil shares, he has been trying to weasel in with his "send me your email and I will send you the answers to all the world's problems" campaign to gain influence/control over a portion of these shares for his trading agenda.
Choosing between tcr and ronran as to who is the more trustworthy is a no brainer.
