Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 1008021, member: 22331"]Another Interesting Spin!! I trust you'll pardon my misunderstanding because you apparently must have clearly stated your definition reference, as you were quite succinct with your exception to Dougs' response. In my haste I must missed the reference. Regardless, how is the Commodities Futures Trading Commission related to the "your clothes, your cars & trucks, your homes" items which Doug mentioned. How does their (your?)twisted "price-setting" definition of the word MANIPULATION replace that of linguists, and the Collegiate English Dictionaries? I believe the two "price-setting" and MANIPULATION actions are related, and also that one of reasonable intelligence would objectively concur. I expressed  my respect/appreciation for your knowledge/intellect which has been diminish by your response. Please don't insult my intelligence by metaphorically "blowing smoke ", and telling me because of the cloudy circumstances, I can't see clearly. Doug has properly explained to Alex that his response wasn't a personal affront, clarified any brevity which may have been misunderstood, and cited the relativity of the concerns expressed in this thread. I trust that we can mutually appreciate others' understandings, find truth in responsive posts, and objectively  respond in the future. Thanks for your understandings. Peace!! :bow: [/QUOTE]
