Not sure what you mean by settling down or taking things personal. I've tried to maintain at least some level of decorum. I usually refrain from sustained flame wars, but if someone wants to throw mud, I don't mind deflecting it back at 'em. Also, in any kind of discussion, I try to state my point rather plainly, but that sometimes requires more words than most folks put into their posts. If that comes across to some as being over-heated, I would offer that such conclusion is more an indictment of the reader, than the poster.
If'fn you go back and look, my first repsonse to mr. kg was not much a slam; in fact, I pretty much put on the kid gloves. I do get tired, however, of folks who see their stock prices melting, and instead of trying to learn from their mistakes, start blaming the evil executives, market makers, gubmint, or whoever. If folks took responsibility for their own actions, the world would be a little better place.
If you're here for entertainment, you should be able to find plenty. Me, I look for an honest exchange of ideas that may lead to some enlightentment about this company or that, or maybe about the economy or the market in general.
Cheers.
