Surprising comments. The last thing you'd expect from educated people.

Dr. Phil has a few words to share: Stop thinking the world revolves around you. Is the urgency you feel as strong as you think? A false sense of urgency stems from self-importance. Why should things have to be the way you want them? When you think the whole world revolves around you, then everything takes on gargantuan importance.

Following Poet does create different points of view. Nothing wrong with that. No good reason to crush the opposing viewpoint. Good thoughts mackwheaton

It's called Analysis vs. In Stone for a reason. Give the poster credit for his level-headed postings in the face of so many who don't have a clue. We need a variety on our board imo. I appreciate what he brings for us to consider, and learn from. glta.

More than one way to get information.

Canadians know best, don't we?

Sorry fj, but I'm confused by your post.

"(an equity stake) this would be in lieu of services"

"Think of it as a fee for service"

"Remember “fee for service”

"that is beneath you FJ and you know it."

Steve, it's not, because of the frequency that we see it. The really bad part of posting like that is that it emboldens others to make blind attacks. You know the anyone who is new here has to be from SH type posts. The board degrades very quickly, and then posters will target some of these posters, and appear foolish to the calmer heads. I am reminded of a verse: Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. No, I am not saying that we have angels on our board, but we did recently have a Software Engineer here, and I was personally embarrassed by the way he was accused, and attacked. We have so many that don't even know what an IPO is, yet they crucified a PhD in Computer Science while on one of the SH witch hunts. Just because some of you here are protected from having your posts removed because of some Agoracom point system, should not mean that you can blatantly accuse our guests here, and we are all guests here when you get right down to it.
