I have not followed this thread for 8 years but I have been been a sporadic visitor for long enough that I have seen numerous ferocious disagreements with several people over the direction of the market. My responses and language with regard to Soumen Barua pales in comparison to some of the language and exchanges that you - and your antagonists - used during various disagreements. In fact, I believe that you were suspended from SI at one time over one of these disagreements and began posting on some other forum.> And you still follow me! I agree with you in totality whatever you call me, I hope this will satisfy you, I am not going to go down the route of Soumen, you will win you have far better array of quivers in your selection. Now reality is that it is you who are trying to prove me what I am not, an expert! You are nameless highly self professed expert on US dynamics or whatever, you great man following a very failed character so intently is not worth your time, why don't you spend time on something better. I agree that I am a total fool, a total failure, but imagine you the 'great' following me for 8 years and you the intelligent thinking about my foolish outlook all this time? our hundered of thousand threads very few rather less than couple or may be few more that have kept the same host the same posters, I am very proud that this fool has been able to do that, that is the only thing I can take great satisfaction in. Why couldn’t you do that with your great ideas, you come like a Mongol and try to burn that is your quality I have learned one thing that when Mongols come run away, I cannot stand your hordes, you understand that well. now keep coiling babe, and try to grow up the more you spew drivel that you do most of the time the more I get mileage. I stand by Soumen because I know him well and I am loyal to my old friends, I cannot see him being coiled by you a nameless non entity. I have made more mistakes than anyone else in life that is my only claim to prominence, the problem I see is you. You are in my house and by the way 175th person to attack me so vehemently; I don’t know why I am so addictive. I can see your anger, however, for a ‘fool Paki’ you will remain always a nameless person that will eat you up, I will not know who you are and you don’t impress me, you can live with your greatest intelligence hereafter but what strange thing your intelligent ideas are based on fire and conversion proselytising, mine are based on ideas in cyber space to my own self mostly if they are good enough they attract people if not they shall wither, you know why I survive because of people like you, you hate me and you attack me that is what makes this thread getting prominence otherwise it would die, the best thing is ignore me dismiss me, and just let this Paki fool die in the small corner, you are too big and I beg your mercy. You will not be able to condemn me anymore I am so self-effacing, so what next know some hypothetical story about Paki sodomising! <Now you do recall that before you became an expert on the geopolitics of the Middle East and South Asia and on terrorism, you were the self-professed expert on the stock market, economics and finance - and rarely, if ever, did you admit that you were wrong. > I was never an expert on anything, markets are my passion still are and Osama bin Laden became someone that destroyed those markets pre- 11 Sept I have been talking about violence and Islamic societies, this was my article on 28th Aug 2001..The war of ideas where Islamic clergy, for its own limited interests, has tried to introduce elements of bigotry and fanaticism in mainstream Islamic thought is not new to Muslim societies. It has made them weak and backward and if it continues in its most dangerous form, such a schism will fragment the country whose only reason to exist as a nation is theological unity of belief. Today, our Darul-Ulooms are a breeding ground for sectarian terminators. Unless our Darul-Ulooms become and are redesigned on the pattern of House of Wisdom, of Baghdad and, instead of producing human terminators, we produce men of letters who may recognize how to respect life, our prospect as a nation is bleak.iranian.com
