Hi robwin,
"I have been reading with amusement and some disgust at the blatant manipulation, half-truths, prevarications and outright falsehoods perpetuated on this thread and on the moderated porch..."
Care to provide verbatim quotes, in context, replete with links to support those claims? FWIW, I have already shown you to be a blatant liar in previous posts right here on this thread. You are also painfully aware of my replies to your PM's to me too.
Why should anyone believe you now? Have you suddenly seen the light, learned the error of your ways & shed your penchant for blatant lies & intentional deceit? Me thinks nothing has changed.
"look at the flak and unfriendly remarks jmac received for the most benign of remarks about the Pontiff's holdings and strategies..."
RE:jmac..... if you were being publicly attacked with vicious lies, intentional deceit & slanderous, inflammatory personal attacks, you might be leery of harsh language from any corner...... BTW, Volt does receive a chitload of PM's daily, not to mention the sheer volume of posts on the porch sent to him..... Volt has said repeatedly he is a big picture man & jokingly said he had ADD.... it is more than reasonable he might miss that first question from jmac..... & subsequently become shocked to see such harsh language with absolutely no indication that jmac was joking....
Yup, I would have been harsh in my reply too & IMHO, Volt was only mildly harsh.... & his tone immediately changed when jmac explained himself...... BTW, look at how hard you are trying to spin Volt's single reply into some horrific widespread overt cult like action.... BTW it isn't remotely close to the disgusting, underhanded crap you & b-i-a pull, that's for damned sure. Oh, one more thing.... read jmac's posts on the thread tonight..... Seems he never had a problem doesn't it?..... So what was your point?
"The Pontiff doesn't even have the intestinal fortitude to admit he may have erred (must be the Infallibilty thing)...I particuarly like the latest mantra, (live and die with INTC just like the Houses)...well, I am not particularly concerned that the Houses will fall if INTC doesn't recover but I do feel sorry for those individuals that followed this course of action...(I know he said it was a GAMBLE, that's the "cover your ass" posting)..."
Volt has admitted to playing the casino on plays like INTC.... Certainly you have read his posts, or so you claim, so you know the answer..... Whether you believe what Voltaire said about the houses, you have to admit that his statements CLEARLY indicate his move has significant risk of total loss.....Additionally, Volt has said that he will go down with the houses if his gamble is wrong..... certainly you have claimed to have read his posts........ So what's your point?
"Never underestimate the human need "to belong"....there is always more security in a group..."
Actually, most of us are there to learn & share & help others. I like the diversity of opinions there. Sure there are more bulls than bears there (& the fact is there are a lot of bears giving their honest opinions & they aren't being driven off, nor are they being attacked for their views.... just healthy debate).... just like there are more bulls than bears in the market. So, what exactly was your point?
