Do we have to own a basket of BB stocks to maintain our membership?

No, this is the Twilight Zone, you are now short the stocks! See, it doesn't matter if you never heard of it, never said anything bad about it, don't know anything about it, and don't give a rat's a** whether or not the stock exists. All you have to do is ask some questions, and you are automatically part of the conspiracy. It's so easy, even a child can do it!

For example, recent posts on a certain BB thread purport to show that I (along with my "secret partners" in crime) invented a death threat to myself, and then had it posted so "we" could bash the stock, because "we" are in league with others to make a killing shorting the stock. If you wrote it in a script, it would not be believed, but this is not reality.

If I show up and say, "That's the dumbest thing I've heard all week." it proves that the supposition is true! Get it? Nifty, eh?

Here is a rather harmless example of what I am talking about:

You see, of course, that a good case can be made now that I am on dope, and it logically follows that that must be why I am making death threats to myself! Presto! You are a Jedi Knight!
