brit, let me break it down for you as a retail investor who has rolled my dice and taken my chances...and is also kinda sick of the ongoing argument that has really spoiled the "on topic" board....

in the past (distant past) you had some posts which proved to be true..leading many to believe that you had "insider info" or at least "great DD"...in the end this proved very dangerous for some folks because they took what you said as gospel and it turned out differently...

personally, i often get that "holy'er than thou, legend in my own mind" feeling from many of your posts..." but i do listen to what you have to say.......i just take it with a big grain of salt...
