Truman, it is sad to see how this once mighty thread you started has degenerated to such a sorry state. Do you remember how the the Brinker bashers in the past used to engage the Brinker supporters in thoughtful and, yes, emotional debate. Who can forget the great exchanges between Rillinois and Justawerkinstiff? Dipy and Skeeter Bug also provided thoughtful posts as Brinker bashers. One thing all of the bashers of the past had in common was that they had a genuine and honest disagreement with Brinker's thoughts and ideas. No hidden agendas. Now we have bashers who actually try to earn a living off the Brinker name and intellectual property. They bash him here and, yet, promote his show and website elsewhere. Anything to make a little green.They don't really care what Brinker is saying just as long as they can generate interest so they can line their pockets. Then we have bashers who are fanatics. They actually think that Brinker has a "business plan" to annoy, demean, lie to and deceive his radio show listeners and Marktimer customers. How dumb! They don't understand that Brinker could not stay on the air for 18 minutes much less his impressive 18 years if that was true. But, fanatics have no reason. Then we have bashers who apparently have no idea what taking responsibility and accountability for their own decisions means. If they actually invested in Brinkers mistakes with the QQQs and TEFQX they were the ones that decided to act on Brinker's advice. If they waited for Brinker to advise them to get out and are still in these investments that was their own decision. If they are still acting on Brinker's advice that is their own decision. No, Truman, they just don't make bashers like they used to. Now, we have the anti-Brinker "thought police" that roam the Internet to attack anyone that doesn't follow their position on Brinker. Sad. Oh well, Truman, again, I guess they just don't make bashers like they used to. You saw the basher attitude change long ago and warned that the bashers with hidden agendas would tear the thread down. I doubt even you could have foreseen the depths they could take it. Jeff |
