theChief: I was hoping you would show up, so I could put to rest some of your lies...

Lie #1) exclusion process on your MDD thread because people did not agree with your direction of the market, or were unable or unwilling to spend time drawing pretty graphs of their theories.

You have a few threads of your own with guidelines you enforce fairly strictly. The MDA/MDD thread was created back in Dec of 98 with a set of guidelines. You chose to not follow the guidelines and decided to become in raged when I politely asked you and other newcomers to please follow the guidelines. You preferred to make a scene on MDD, you decided to stop posting on MDD rather than honor the guidelines. You immediately started a BS Direction Thread slaming the contributors of MDD in the header and in just about every post you make on that thread!

Lie $2) Right after you moderated me right out of the MDD thread. I started one of my own.

You started your BS Market Direction thread with the moderation feature included, after you decided to storm off MDD rather than honor the guidelines. Do as I say not as I do suits you quite well. It seems you expect folks to follow the guidelines of your threads, but you are above following the guidelines of the threads of others. (Navy Chief, hmmm...I bet you were good at giving out orders, but had a hard time taking them! Now let me guess...how many lifer Navy Chiefs have the nick name chief...LOL!)

And as for as you excluding me, I can only assume I was excluded the day you created the thread (5/16/00), as I have never tried to post to your thread. And if that is so, I was excluded from your thread before the moderated feature was added to MDD on (5/17/00). You were not excluded from posting on MDD for your views, but for your refusal to honor the guidelines and the disruption you created on the thread when politely asked to do so. Frankly, your disruptions were the catalyst to add the feature.

It seems to me you are obsessed with MDD, if not I would not be responding to your post. In your BS Direction Thread header you ridicule the contributors of MDD via inference and I lost track of how many slams I have seen in your various post on the BS Direction Thread toward the contributors of MDD. You're one sick puppy...

BS Market Direction...your thread is aptly named...LOL!

LG

Actually your selective memory is not surprising. You initiated an "exclusion process on your MDD thread because people did not agree with your direction of the market

That is a complete fallacy!

Something that my thread does that yours consistently fails to do is say "I was wrong". I have never seen anyone be wrong on your thread? Which in itself proliferates the "attitude"!

That too is a fallacy, as I recently mentioned I had missed the top in biotech in march and that Bobby Beara had called it accurately. There are other examples of contrition, but you have a vendettta to serve.

Last, one of the tenets of the MDD thread was to provide data to support a claim. That data is often furbished in the form of a chart. The problem with the bullish arguments was not that they were bullish, but rather the lack of support (data) for the assertian.

What is the point of having a discussion with a religious zealot, you cannot change his point of view? Thus many bullish unsupported claims have become a religious right for prices to continue higher.
