RE: "...several replies from Cary before that I did not appreciate."
So, Cary doesn't think much of what you post. Get over it. Cary doesn't think much of most of what is posted at SI. At least, Cary thinks enough of your posts to respond to them.
RE: "where posters have either stopped posting, or thought of doing so as a result of Cary's attacks."
Others have testified on this thread that Cary doesn't make personal attacks. If Cary shreds someone's logic and he realizes he has nothing to say, where is the loss?
RE: " It is obvious to me from some of the other posts that Cary is appreciated by some of the members of this thread for his contributions. However, how can we measure the non-contributing effect that tends to occur when someone stops posting as a result of constant harassment, or whatever..."
What is this "constant harassment, or whatever" that you accuse Cary of? Can Cary pose an opposite opinion each time another poster posts?
RE: "The style Cary employs seems to be one analogous to shooting from a slit in a stone wall. It is easier to argue if you keep people on the defensive, taking shots at whatever they produce, while at the same time providing
little information about alternative courses of action"
Cary believes that people post on threads to have their ideas tested in public. If the ideas can't stand the light of day, the poster has learned a free lesson.
RE: "With someone like Cary taking broad shots at such contributions, I think the net effect will be fewer articles being posted."
Cary believes that people post articles on threads to have the articles' ideas tested in public. If the ideas can't stand the light of day, the poster has learned a free lesson.
RE: "I don't recall Cary posting any articles at all on this thread..."
Cary doesn't think much of many articles and Cary has copywrite concerns about reposting useful research. Cary did post an excerpt from ML which stated that INTC would spend 68% of the $7.5B capital investment budget by the end of the June quarter.
RE: "Also, if he is so negative on the stocks mentioned by the author at these levels, why doesn't he short them?"
Cary doesn't recall making a negative statement on those stocks or even which stocks they are.
RE: "Finally, I think it is worth noting that the author seemed somewhat humble to me, and was not deserving of such harsh criticism."
Cary read Charles Dicken's "David Copperfield" and is familiar with the character of Uriah Heep. Are you?
RE: "I hope nobody minds if I do not post here as often."
Cary won't mind, but Cary wonders about all the lurkers whose investment success depends on your expertise. |
