Greetings Landis,
I forgot my old password and decided to create this temporary account to author my reply. A good friend had alerted me to this thread and I thought I would take the time to respond.
You are quite mistaken in a few areas of your various missives in this thread. I did not leave ET because I thought the board was mismanaged, but because I had other responsibilities in which I had to devote my attention. Reading and replying on a message board takes some time...time I do not presently have. I enjoyed the candor of the threads and thought the setup of the message board ideal. I had met Baron once at an event and had no problem with him. He presented himself well and seemed very intelligent.
While I appreciate that you are a fan of mine, I do not appreciate your various mentions and assumptions of myself. If you wish to include someone in your thread, then its appropriate to ask and discuss first before doing. I did not appreciate my real name being displayed on the board in a previous thread you authored. I do value my privacy and felt that the mention of my name violated that aspect.
I have reviewed several of your threads and concluded that you have a certain demeanor which seems overly aggressive and hostile. I dont believe Paul Tudor Jones would want his name behind your distasteful posts. In fact, Im certain if I emailed copies of the threads in which you mention his name and working for his firm then I am betting he will sick his legal dogs on you.
Baron is a very experienced website professional. He has been in the business a very long time and knows what works and what doesnt. I would not come to his website and tell him how to run things. That is simply not appropriate. Instead, I suggest that if you do not like how things are run then find a new site or create your own. Your constant complaints seem like whining and no one appreciates that.
Im not going to tell you what to do, but politely make a suggestion. You should take at least a 60 day break from this site and I encourage Baron to assist in this process by placing a temporary ban on the ip. I think you need time away from this site to collect your thoughts.
In closing, I wish to ask you not to contact myself by phone at Assent. You can instead come to meet me and say what you want to my face versus hiding behind a computer on the internet.
I wish you luck and want to say that I will not be back to this site as I am constantly working on other goals in life which take priority at this time.
Good luck...
