Apology,
I have nothing against any member of this board, zero!! Even against members who have took to name calling and insults, many at times most likely deserved. And some, i just moved past, Glennhoss, aimgainer, even Cev can be abrupt but that's Cev.
I only have one personal issue with 1 member, unfortunately he is everyone's favourite member and highly respected. And that is great, its not a popularity contest.
But since our very first conversation, I've not enjoyed the passive aggressive, dismissive and tone of his replies. Using words like childish, delusional and pathetic, calling me stupid and insinuating I sell if I can't handle dips in performance, overlooking his heavy input at that point that swayed a large amount of sentiment here, I took seriously.
And when i approached him after it dropped like I said, after already being insulted by him and a couple of his mates he wasn't grown up enough to deal with the conversation, dealt with me like an idiot beneath him. And hided behind a board of strong followers.
It's nothing against the Man himself, on the face of it, he seems a genuine bloke, with a good amount of respect for people. But my experience differs, and through him I've had to put up with a lot here. In what was supposed to be a great investment, with good members.
Not once has he apologised, tried to engage in constructive conversation or something along the lines of ending hostilities.
He does what he does, arrives to run me down, label me delusional, pathetic and an idiot and leaves to applause.
I believe his Ego brought him here yesterday, nothing more, nothing less.
This is a board for shareholders big, small and from all backgrounds. It's not his to run, or direct because he has told us his connections to the Board, or media establishments. That means nothing to me, I know many consider it a luxury but I see it as inconsequential as his rhetoric above 10p, he is in no better position to judge the situation as anyone, and I learned that very early on from my conversations, that we didn't agree on much, but I was stupid, and he everyone kept telling me, speaks to Shaun. Yet failed all year, to understand the directions it has took.
I'm all for an LTH having that patience all will be OK, but in a silent less direct way because some members are still looking to make a really string holding here, at reasonable prices that don't leave them in a difficult situation if ever the need arises and they have to sell for personal reasons.
LTH, traders and new investors deserve a fair shot at success here, I have never considered his input benefiting all members. But I don't consider his intent to be malicious, as I've said he seems a decent guy. But I've never found him open to approach. A concept I found difficult
