<They are pumping us. They show little emotion in posted responses and we react angrily to it. It is a psychological model in fighting.>
You are ENTIRELY correct! I've seen these guys operate. But, they need fuel for the fire. It amazes me how some react SO emotionally and supply the fuel. The shorts gather kindling, flick that Bic, get a small flame going. Puff a bit to keep that flame alive. Then some of you, without realizing it ... do the rest of the damage. All they have to do is come in periodically and stoke the fire!!
<Where are the facts from short and long in debate, not scattered here and there?>
Anyone who's been around for a while knows that the shorts will do a "good guy"/"bad guy" routine. And they feed off of each other. All you have to do is click on "Personal Profile" to see inter-relationships, and see where they've done their damage before.
When I see people who have been around TAVA for a while, involved with name-calling and emotionalism ... and I'm wasting my time clicking thru vapid, vitrolic, voluminous, non-substantive posts ... I get d*mn mad. And not at the shorts, but rather at the respondents.
When and while this stuff is going on, I will NOT take the time to formulate thoughts and write anything of substance, because it gets lost in the murky waters of a massive amount of meaningless posts.
So you guys who do this CLICK stuff and name-calling are hurting yourselves and everyone else. STOP IT ALREADY.
The Amish have this deal called "shunning". I suggest you do this to the shorts. IGNORE THEM. As I've said repeatedly, I have no problem with people who short ... but I do have a problem with the unethical ones who prey on the little guys with distorted or partial information to create fear.
Respond to their issues, logically and factually. But NEVER do an automatic click/respond on their names. Share your thoughts/rebuttal with someone else ... or a post to yourself, in a measured logical manner. Stop getting down in the gutter with them.
I don't like Mr. Pink's methods and morality ... BUT he is extremely bright, astute and knows how to manipulate people and opportunities. He can't do it in a vacuum - he needs a reactive audience. Quit being a pawn already.

P.S. Saw "Freaky Dude" changed his name now to "LARRRY". This game playing sure gets tiresome! |
