Your post indicates just what the problem is......"an attempt to reclaim our board from the never-ceasing daily nonsense that you and your associate insisted on repeatedly posting." It is indeed difficult to see "your" forum challenged by anyone. When you declare yourself to be "100% right" and others "100% wrong", you obviously want no discussion or opposition.
My "associate" and I have been treated to requests to cease and desist any suggestion differing from your "respected" posters, but they were RARELY "respectfully worded requests". Most were one on the order of the lovely post you put up in January.
My so-called "volley of vitriol and reactionary chest-thumping" never cost anyone a dime. My "associate" and I had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with lowering the price to 26 cents. I've never lied about my background, nor has my "associate". Neither of us have to run from this forum because we are afraid to answer questions. Neither of us have anything to hide.
I must admit, however, that you get an "A" in insulting. You did it well today and you were so effective in January that your post was reposted (in violation of the Agora rules) about a half dozen times, all at the behest of those who have treated us so "respectfully". The behavior of the "lynch mob" that day was shameful.
IMO, many of the "clever" people here have led others right down the primrose path. If you're one of those, you have my sympathy, but please don't invite me along. The invitation to "learn something" reminds me of that old story with the line "Step into my parlor," said the spider to the fly. Thanks, but no thanks
May I also make a suggestion for you? You'll be a lot happier is you develope a sense of humor.
