RE:RE:OMGWTFLOLThanks for the reply AGT and for your honesty.
It's interesting that you'd prefer these types of messages to be via private message. Did you not think that for the sake of the board and for the very fact that you don't want TOOMY to be constantly annoying, that you should perhaps do your correspondance to TOOMY, using the same format.
With respect to 'upvotes' as you call them, I have given posters a thumbs up when I feel they have deserved it. I wouldn't though give one if someone had to ask for them.
As you say, some on the board could construe my post to you as being in defense of TOOMY, and that would be unfortunate, but I'd have to disagree that s/he has got me conditioned in any way different in my response to you, than yourself constantly replying to him/her. TOOMY has been on ignore for quite some time and the content on the board has been much better since I did that.
Like you, and many others, I tried to 'talk' to TOOMY but found that ignore was the best solution. Does that stop the manipulation of the stock, or that of the board members, no, but it does keep the board and the members who read it, from being constantly bombarded with information they do not wish to see.
My remarks that others have tried and failed, and that you should not try, is not defeatist at all. I suggested to put TOOMY on ignore, I did not suggest that you stop trying to get him/her from doing what s/he is doing.
I applaud your tenacity and wish you success, but I do not think that the whole membership on the board needs to see what is going on between yourself and Toomy, especially since many of us has put him/her on ignore and, since you could be holding your conversations with TOOMY via private message....not that s/he'd likely reply.
If your sole reason is to be here to expose TOOMY, can't you just do that by contacting StockHouse? We all know how you feel now, and there is no real benefit for us to have to hear it over and over again.

I've been posting here for a week while TOOM and his various aliases have been at it for months bashing GENM and, from my perspective, trying to manipulate the GENM stock price for whatever reason.
I know you don't put any value in upvotes, but I do and some of the other board members likely do as well, as evidenced by my current 77 reputation. There are certainly a few others on this board who do see the difference between TOOM and me and they have been supportive of my posts posts.
My intent is not to annoy you. Please put me and TOOM and all his aliases on ignore if you haven't already done so, and I won't bother you any more.
If you really think that I am using reserve psychology and working with TOOM at this point, then there's nothing I can probably say that will change your mind. I won't even try. I'll let my posts speak for themselves, you can infer from them whatever you want.
Now to answer your question directly: the reason I decided to join this board and post is simple, I am sick of seeing what I think is happening here and I am doing something about it. Every signle one of my posts has made that clear.
Ask yourself if it is possible whether TOOM has you now so conditioned that you would come at me the way you have. Some could interpet this as you being supportive of the abuser.
And finally with regard to your last point that since others have tried and failed with TOOM and that I should not even try, this is defeatist to the extreme.
I am not here to ignore TOOM and his multiple aliases, I am here to expose the manipulation of bullboard members' opinion about GENM in which TOOM has been involved, potentially assisted by others, now for many, many months.
