It would be funny if it was not pathetic. The strategy is "the best defence is vicious offence" Instead of defending their points or accept that one cannot be always right they attack. It works because it detracts the discussion. Their guru is a very immature genius. When challenged he will go into kindergarden way of interpretation of challenger's words. Always immitating humble response "Thank you for showing me how lousy tradar I am, or how I am always wrong and never right etc etc" Again detracting disussion and posing as a victim of vicious attack. Then the herd of supporters will viciously attack to make a good loop. By this time nobody remembers the origin. Part of the scheme is to attack challenger's integrity and honesty. First $15,000 was interesting but when TT did not respond they took it as a proof that he did not trade. To make better impression it was raised by 100,000. How wrong they were they realized very soon. The only ways to get out of this was to find some technicality and stick to it. After all 100,000 is a lot of money. Their choice is 1. pay $100,000 and admit they were wrong. Both very difficult to accept. 2. Keep the 100,000 by fighting it on the ground of technicality. This way however they will loose cherished integrity and honesty. My prediction: they will go with number 2 but with great denial of lost integrity. They will use self support to show how great they are. The theory that the rest conspire to destroy them will grow to great proportion. How pathetic It is a pitty that because if childish ego we will not see a good exchange of ideas between people like TT, Kevin and Ike and many others. We could all benefit.
