What sounds familiar, is the spin you're attempting to pitch. Professional-quality spin, I might add, in contrast to the fairly amateurish attempts by VDCT shareholders to prevent some quite plausible accusations against FBF from being swept under the rug by PR hacks wielding the tactics of smear and spin.

It isn't surprising that VDCT shareholders would come here to air their grievances, and would have new accounts and aliases... Your attempt to paint straightforward behavior as somehow sinister and underhanded is a typical "if you can't discredit the message, discredit the messenger" smear.

Your sarcastic "It must be true because it was put into a lawsuit by a lawyer" comment is typical of a lawyer-type attempting to exploit the anti-lawyer biases of what that ilk calls the "little people".

Are you an Esq. yourself, or did some of the stench just rub off on you?

The rest of your post is mere hyperbole, attempting to spin the honest concern and indignation held and expressed by the various VDCTers into some sort of wacko chorus of shiftless cyber-vagrants.

Here's the honest truth, not that you'd recognize it: There are Video City shareholders out here that aren't going to be laughed or spun into silence. They have reason to believe that they have been victimized in a most grievous fashion, and they aren't going to run home in tears to mommy because some spin-meister hurt their "widdle feelings".

I can understand that FBF shareholders aren't going to embrace with joy some outsiders bearing not-so-glad tidings... But a smart shareholder should set aside emotion, and realize that the VDCTers are doing them a favor, intentional or not.

If the allegations against Fleet Boston Financial are bogus, then the sooner they are dragged out into the light of day and dispelled, the better... On the other hand, if there is some merit to Video City's case, then the sooner it is taken seriously and settled the better. Either way, I don't believe it is in the interest of FBF shareholders to allow their management to continue to stonewall, smear, and spin.

Fortunately, I was able to dredge into my cache files and reconstruct my post. Being a geek does have it's advantages.

I've received no notice of a TOS violation, and there's little doubt that far more profane and inflammatory posts have been allowed to stand.

Perhaps I struck a nerve, huh?
