>>I never questioned anyone's character, just their ideas.<<

You have not only questioned it, you've openly attacked it Steve! The first quote is one that you followed with your endorsement of Nate in your parent note, and the second quote was made further down in the thread.

>>However, unless I woke up in Cuba today, I don't need or want Jim Reilly and his handpicked band of yes men (Neal Silverman and Marty Kaplan) telling me what economic decisions I am allowed to make.<<

No one is telling you what you should or can buy or sell. Comparing Jim's, Marty's, or Neal's ideas to a communist dictatorship without any reason based in reality is an outright attack on their character.

>>I believe they are running along with Jim just to guarantee voting control.<<

Another attack on the character of Neal and Marty that is baseless. Jim, Neal and Marty DON'T agree on everything, particularly on an issue that is very important to me!

You haven't attacked the ideas these men have put forth, you've attack their character for having the ideas that they do, and have misrepresented their ideas to boot!
