This "thread of threads" is designed to cull and showcase outstandingly cruel and cutting work produced by the Silicon Investor community. If you come across a truly exceptionally offensive and cruel post--on any topic, from any perspective--please put up a link to it here. Use your own judgment about what to commend, but keep in mind that the thread will be most valuable if the barriers to entry are set really, really high.
The thread rules are simple but strict. Initial violations will be met with a warning, later ones with a posting ban. The rules are as follows:
1. You can only post links to other people's posts, not your own.
2. You can only post links to original work, not press releases, outside articles, and so forth.
3. All posts must follow the following format: a simple descriptive header in the first line, a brief description of why you think the post is worth highlighting (optional), and a link to the post in question. NO OTHER KINDS OF POSTS ARE ALLOWED.
4. Although anything from anywhere in SI past and present is eligible for this thread, it appears the quicker something gets cross-posted here the more likely it is to make it into the official Cruel Posts. Beyond a day (or two at most) we're probably just speaking to ourselves.
5. None of these rules apply to the thread moderator. |
