You're showing improvement, but a diplomat you'd never make.

I don't like to see long time posters leave, that is what gets me ticked off.

In your reply to me, you say;

you getting a little carried away

I ask that you take some deep breaths

I am not evil-doer you perceive me to be.

You seem to to be holding a grudge about something I wrote to you in the past.

To be fair, these are some pretty inflammatory remarks. Secondly, yes, I have a long memory, but that is not to be confused with holding a grudge. Once bitten, twice shy would definitely apply in this situation. Do you realize that now I am hesitant to share info with the board? I tend to only share certain info by P.M. now, so yeah, there was some damage done. So please excuse my empathy for others who might feel the same as I do.

You have many quality posts, notwithstanding, and I do think we can all arrive at a compromise without losing more posters by the day here.

I know everybody is here to trying to make money, but if we lose sight of the human perspective, and the sense of community that Agoracom fosters, then we are no better than the soul-less bankers and hedge funds who bankrupted a generation for profits.

Honestly, I don't mind you trying to keep the forum from becoming a giant bulletin board, but keep trying to be a bit warmer, and to turn a blind eye from time to time.

Otherwise, folks will feel like they're being lectured by one of their own, and that's where resentment kicks in I think...just like a bunch of kids: "you're not the boss of me!!" LOL

Just some friendly advice, maybe if we keep trying we can see eye to eye eventually.
