Now, here's a good example of the kind of misdirection that's practiced on the one-and-only-original MDD Market Direction Thread.

(And my apologies, as this really belongs on the MDD Market misDirection Thread, rather than here on the MDD Unmoderated Market Direction Discussion thread...)

You are part of the septic tank sludge that fouls the air on SI. I will not give you further credibility by responding to you again." (I will beleive it when I see it. -jt)

He posted URLs to a couple of rather uncivil responses ("goofus" "you are dense", not as original as "septic tank sludge" but you can see the tone...) to posts of mine. You can go read them yourself to see what I mean.

Now, let's see what they were objecting to:

Message 14056418

and

Message 14057972

All of which were ultimately follow-ons to:

Message 14054379

and

Message 14054585

Basically, what this all involved was that I criticized a company for wasting money sponsoring a race-car driver, who turned out not to even qualify for the race.

A thread participant asked me if I knew the cost, intimating that it might be very little.

I turned it around and asked if THEY knew the cost. When they wouldn't answer, I asked again.

Upset that I disagree with their position, they escalated into personal insults, which I think we are seeing matches LG's own style. He then uses this as an example of why I am "sewer sludge".

This is precisely the problem I have with the one and only original MDD Market Direction Discussion thread - the silencing of opposing voices by whatever means available - i.e. where moderation isn't available, resort to kindergarten insults.

The ultimate irony is that LG has done this under the umbrella of trying to rid his thread of the very behaviour that he is now exhibiting himself.

What a hypocryte!
