doug, mas, you might not like that, but semi´s prediction/claims stand on their own, just like yours. Only relate to the message, not the messenger, that´s part of the rules. It doesn´t matter what you may think a certain poster may or may not work for - he can tell you anything anyway. That´s why we have this rule:
Personal Attack– when someone attacks a person, with name calling, or relating to the messenger and not the message.
Keep the personalities out of it. Trying to push someone into a corner of your choice in an attempt to discredit his views only shows that you have no convincing arguments of your own. Respect this from now on, and stop calling contrarian views FUD just because you disagree.
No need to respond to this.
