I only lasted a weekend. Believe me
I went out of my way to be nice. The discussion was the Parade article on I can't even remember what. It's gone whatever it was. I know it wasn't IFE so obviously I was right. Those goofballs are hilarius!!!! IMO

MIR

Getting kicked out of there is becoming a badge of honor (reflecting on the place and not the ejected).

In terms of an analogy, when a country becomes repressive towards its citizens the best and the brightest leave (as is well known). But what does that say about who stays?

Mary: As you remember, they did not believe it was the real you. It was considered impossible that you would question e.Digital or its past financings. They were sure that either I or someone else had hi-jacked your ID.

I remember when you were terminated from agora. Your general comment was falsely portrayed by lawyerlong and others as some kind of criminal accusation against Fred Falk or Robert Putnam.

Being the real deal on agora seems to be a bad thing if you begin to question any of the party line. Everyone knew you, your real full name, what you look like. your real e-mail address and probably your telephone number.

Because of your previous strong support (to such a stong level that I and many other assumed you were just a hypester) they definitely had to neutralize your skepticism with trumped up accusations first of you not being you and then that you supposedly were making criminal accusations.

I wish that I had kept your agora posts and the responses, including the one agora's PK used in terminating you. IMO, it was definitely the most trumped up of all the agoracom terminations.

However, you have to understand that a reversal in opinion from someone who had been as positive as you definitely needed to be neutralized if they were going to continue to sell stock for the financiers.

You were influential to the positive aspects and if people knew that you were no longer as positive, that might shake the believer base.
