“Please tell me that this whole thing with SOEE is NOT over the fact that a couple of posters who you happened to like were ‘removed’ from the Tent for their actions.
If that is not the case, then why did you have to include the last paragraph is a post to ME??’
===============================
It has nothing to do with the fact some poster might have been removed from the tent, nor the fact many others have left for related reasons. In fact, there have been no posters who have left that I have any more affinity for than any other poster at the tent as I really do like all of the posters, and that does include SOEE. If there are any posters that I have a special fondness for in one way or another, they are still, here. Some examples might be Deadeye, Ment17, Y2KDon, Irish, FGC, Farmboy, Grin, RedOkie, Farmboy, and Wanka………and, yes, Farmboy got a double vote. I don’t even know why that list pops out of my mind, except that each of those posters have left some indelible mark on my life for one reason or another. I do not include you on that list, just like I do not include “Ike”, even though I have seen Ike perform the job of moderator on a private board in a very competent way for a very long time. Recently, I have shared some fine conversations with Ike that I have been most touched by.
I suppose I did not “have to include that paragraph” in the post to you, but must have felt that it fell in line with the trend of conversation.
I have no problem with SOEE’s posts on his trades short the general markets, in fact, have anticipated general market weakness in this time period that should continue toward year-end. I simply prefer to stick with my expectations for the PM sector along with the underlying fundamental and technical reasons that support them. At times SOEE seems very aggressive to those opinions, in fact, I was very surprised to hear him say, today, that he has a large long position in PM stocks. In fact, I am not so sure there is a “whole thing with SOEE” from my vantage point. Yet, as witnessed in this conversation stream it now appears that there might be an “appearance problem” of one moderator potentially picking up the sword for another over a simple case of two differing opinions on the PM stock potentials. So, let me tell you a little story that comes to mind.
Many years, ago, many different groups of people took it upon themselves to travel a great distance to a new land to escape tyranny. Those people created a new land with bold leaders who fought their butts off to create a land of freedom founded upon a democratic way with explicit policies intended to create many guarantees against future tyranny that also created a vast enumeration of personal freedoms. Through history, it has been suggested many times that the new land of freedom would eventually fail, due to the inherent desire of humans to invariably cluster together redefining the freedoms when it came to their personal wants. It certainly appears that those warnings are coming to fruition a few hundred years, later, in what was once considered to be the “Land of the Free.
If you would prefer that I no longer disagree with SOEE in any direct way on tent grounds, then just say, “PM FEVER, I’d prefer you not disagree with SOEE on tent grounds.” I would have no problem with that rule, especially if you would publicly suggest that SOEE not constantly hack on any of my opinions on the PM markets. In fact, I could live with such a rule even if you do not limit SOEE’s hacking on my work. If you would prefer that I apologize to SOEE if the PM stocks move aggressively up from here in the intermediate-term time-frame, I would be more than happy to do so. But that is where I draw the line. I will not be willing to call you “boss”, nor “master”, nor “The Great White Hope” no matter how many of me fingernails you remove from me feeble body.
I certainly hope you have a sense of humor, FloridaGold, and “yes” I am now laughing, but not at you. I want to see nothing but the best for the Tent, and would like to see nothing more than for SOEE to report that he has increased his account by 50 million dollars by year-end.
I will try to “wipe” any past potential negative thoughts from my memory bank in terms of the above and move forward with my expectations for the PM markets. As Sister SLD always said, “Gold and Silver- a way of life.”
