Who cares - personal attacks. I've learned from the best - your own Auric Barbary-Coast Blackbeard Goldfinger. He's the King of personal attacks, amigo...
I've kept out of the fray, silent, kept to myself... then Auric Blackbeard Securities Goldfinger decides to mock my name... so he gets it back, simple as that. Like I said, I don't know anything about Francois Goelo - and I don't care. He referenced old posts of mine, that is the extent of my "association" with him. When Auric Barbary Clam Crammer Goldfinger decided to publicly denigrate my family name... I stepped in.
So you see, you are not such a defender of 'fair fighting' as it were... for had Stephan Blackbeard The Wiggler Goldfinger not brought me into it... I would have stayed out of it.
CYBR was a mistake of mine. A HUGE one, and one which I regret. Had Goldfingerer been more informative and less caustic and provocative, I may have listened... but he set out to become the anti-hero instead of the educator, and I bit - took the bait and went opposite to him. Youthful indiscretion, it cost me a wad, won't make the same mistake again. It's clear to me that Goldfingerer had no intention of "helping" amateur retail investors with his CYBR posts... his intention seemed more clearly to set up "challengers" - from which to pry his fish-food.
Funny enough, I did have a beef with A@P for a spell, but I've got a bunch more respect for him after having read his thread for awhile. Lashing out at A@P was more of an overspill from my reaction to the very undignified and clearly rotten Auric Goldfingerer.
I've since come to appreciate the role that short-sellers play in the market, and have no qualms with the general concept of short-selling. My CYBR mistake is in the past, and I've left it there.
Again, had Steve not maligned my name I'd have remained a silent observer. I never bow to a bully, though. He knows that. I've just exchanged with him like-in-kind... so if you're gonna point a finger at me, you're levelling the same criticism at him. |
