You say:

"Thumbs up? Yes, 60+ thumbs raises an eyebrow. I believe Ignited's post on criticizing the BOD illustrated a fairly strong consensus of which you are not a part. You are obviously for the BOD. Speaks volumes..."

Show me where in recent discussion I ever said or implied that I was/am "for the BoD". Never happened. And you suggesting that I did "speaks volumes" - either you can't read or you have a tendency to bend the truth - a lot.

I have pointed out that some claims against the BoD are exagerated and just plain incorrect, and I believe that in EVERY ONE OF THOSE POSTS I said that I too am disappointed in the BoD, perhaps not for all the same exact reasons, but "disappointed", disenchanted", etc. just the same.

"You succeeded in ending my criticism of the BOD? Your ego is expanding exponentially."

Well, um, you've stopped reposting, and reposting, and reposting about them. That met my objective.

How could my ego expand expotentially? Really. It was already humongous! All due to my wealth, knowledge, sense of humor, charm, and amazing good looks! And, of course, my investing prowess!
