DB,

I have not insulted you yet (strike one), but that might be about to change. Some might consider it an insult when I tell you you should look up the definition of some words.

The first is "insult." I haven't treated you with contempt or insolence, but if we differ on that point, you worked hard to earn the affront so I don't feel too bad about it.

The other word you should review the definition of is "hesitate." Hmmmm ... I'm a frequent reader and cannot recall the last time I addressed a post to you or about you specifically. I have, in fact, hesitated a great deal (strike two) and withheld more than a few posts that might have addressed your high-and-mighty, holier-than-thou "this is my forum and all who agree with me are welcome" smugness.

You rarely see me post anything because I post relatively rarely. You post more in a week than I have all year. You have never seen me insult company management or company operations (strike three).

I give you credit for one thing, you're up front and honest about where you're coming from. In essence, you've said many times "post positive and who knows it might help our stock price, post negative and you might hurt the share price." You're not really here for a balanced exchange of facts about the firm, you're here to do your bit to lift the price. Fair enough, but when you insult others in your screeching, condescending manner, it rubs some folks the wrong way and I take great pleasure in telling you so, after much hesitation.

Three strikes in one post, big guy, you struck out. Go sit down for a while.
