Metacomet,dvdw and others - Thanks for your remarks and those of few others – it is unfortunate that no one pays attention to the whole post and thinks it trough what I intended to write. I fully stay behind my post and what I wrote.
As I wrote many times - all wars are based on economic reasons – and the case in the TJ misquoted post I state the same again. Interestingly that no one made a direct remark to TJ twisted writings about “nuking the Chinese” or which is no where to find in my posts,or his calling me names which equal to hate crimes.
TJ used a classic Communist / Totalitarian Era approach to twist the truth or the “written letter” to extort a confession on something that was never said or written
It is my opinion that if a government uses its totalitarian rule to force its citizen work under inhuman condition (like 12 hour work days no vacation or resting days or social benefits etc.) or uses jail forced (slave)labor with no pay with the purpose to undermine the economy of another country, or openly engage in stealing the resources of the other country (in this case intellectual property if from the US or EU or others) it is tantamount of a declaration of war on the other country. This is not competition – as in actuality to mach the other terms the attacked country must force its own citizen to loose their quality of life work under harsh condition as if they where conquered by another exploiting power. This happen in WWII with millions upon millions of Europe nationals working for the conquering Country and in reverse under Stalin in Siberia, where not only USSR citizen where sent to forced labor camps.
Therefore the government of that same country is to be hold responsible and in extremes it entails a declaration of war. If one would go over the wars fought over the last 2000 to 3000 years he will recognize that is was all about resources and commercial routes and knowledge. So what is difference today when for example the knowhow of MSFT is plundered in day light with the tacit support of the government? And this is only one example that is easy to relate to!!
There is a huge difference between forcing hopeless workers to work in squalid places sponsored by the Country Government and the same by lawbreaking people who just exploit others for their gain and are faced with stiff punishment for their action and the workers are at the end reimbursed.
In TJ case it is obvious that he is a pathological liar, deprived of self-esteem who tries to gain recognition on this board by posting mostly imaginary trades, lashing out at any one that disagrees with his take of the world or proves that he is wrong, bullying every one that does not follow “his party line” insulting and degrading any one that question his credibility and uses insulting ethnic slurs when he is ignored?
In the last few days TJ chased me even to other boards on SI with pestering and provocative post – so why bother responding to an idiot and egomaniac?
Why TJ made the effort to dig for a 5 year old post, and according to him that took 4 hours and the work of clerk he does not have? ….. Except to try to satisfy his egomaniac desire?
TJ strives for recognition on SI as the “TOP DOG” as I assume he does not enjoy it in the real world for obvious reasons.
In a nutshell I do not believe one sentence from what he writes as I assume all is imaginary, plain exaggerations or outright lies (including his claims of having close Jewish relatives – which claims are used to attack me and others). The instances that he is proven right have a very low post ratio (post posted to useful posts).
Calling me all the names he mentioned and not only during the last few days that I ignored his hateful barking is outright hate crime, as he knows very well that I am the son of holocaust survivors who where deported to forced labor camps in WWII, and suffered harsh discrimination under the communist regime including for example by pulling my pants down in front of the whole class so anyone should see I am a Jewish kid.
The fact that SI did not ban TJ from posting is a sad affair of how those boards are monitored, and based on those mindless participants who did not put the effort in understanding what I wrote in the whole post, but got swept ahead with TJ twisted and sickening claims only proves to me that there is no point for me to post further and share my knowledge for good or bad.
As to TJ personally his recent ire is also a direct result of some of his recent recommendations (to best of my recollections) of being long gold and EUR and short the USD, in both cases the trades since July if indeed done and hold on to, generated substantial losses.
Further it is obvious from his many posts that TJ takes great pleasure of “Schadenfreude” of others financial losses and other general losses, and more so he is adamantly anti American – but that is his choice and inherent right.
So in a nutshell it is for SI to decide what type of discussion would be conducted on those boards and whose knowledge is appreciated.
Wishing all well and good luck
