Telling someone in a polite, veiled way that I hope they don't cause Matt the struggle they at one time caused me means we're working as a team? That post, though written to Poet, was intended for both of you and someone else, with the assumption each would know who I was talking to. Neither of you seemed capable of letting it go then, and I was hoping you could now.

macros to you both!!

This is a very interesting thing for you to say, especially in light of the fact that I was emailed macros as attachments yesterday that I can only assume are malicious. I haven't received such attachments in several months, but yesterday I got two of them. And of course, I'm not stupid enough to launch them.

I don't think you're behind my receiving these two, as they've got plenty of fingerprints on them that exclude you, but I want you to be aware that sending me such scripts or macros would be futile. And that your statement, which is easily construed as such a threat by any reasonable person, is very irresponsible and more than a little foolish for you to post publicly.

Just wanted to say something else.

Your post is very revealing in a "true colors" kind of way. I hope those who "follow" you, or go to a site primarily because you're there, saw or will see it.

I have counted both you and Poet among my friends. A couple of my most trying friends, but friends nonetheless. Friends who obviously despise each other for reasons I've never wanted to know, but still friends. Friends who have made my life more difficult in the past, despite my asking them, as friends, to quit doing so, but friends.

Making things more difficult for me is something I can overlook for the most part, since dealing with such issues is part of what I was paid to do, and I was a professional at it; able to largely take in stride what most people couldn't honestly comprehend dealing with. I don't overlook threats, though.

I've always maintained a position, with both of you, that I don't want to know the personal details behind this ongoing war you've had, and that from an administrative and somewhat personal viewpoint, you have both been deeply in the wrong, but that I didn't know and wasn't going to determine which of you was "more wrong".

Poet pissed me off more than you can imagine with a post attacking me once, and it's no coincidence that I quit InvestorsHub that night and things have never been completely "right" between us since, but you went even further than that. Your threatening post to me decided for me that it's you who is "more wrong".
