It’s really funny how you honestly think that waiting four days is going to let you weep out a few last tear-stained words without earning another boot to the head.
It’s really funny how you think your drivel is enough to make us feel unsafe.
It’s really funny how you continually accuse us of doing things we are not (failing to understand what we read, coming back to talk tough to an empty room, bullying) but that you are.
It’s double secret funny that you thought waiting five days and then taking a steaming dump on the thread, AGAIN, would somehow be a surprise.
I must apologise to MEHNDO for making him? her yawn.
To the point of their responding with a post.
And your telling me repeatedly how much you just don’t care, and am not interested in my opinions, is starting to make me think that you have some sort of obsession with me.
I really hope that you’re both women, not because I have any interest in you, (Sorry), but it would feel a bit creepy the both of you continually stalking me.
LOOK whatever fantasies you have about me is down to you, what ever you think stays in your head.
I don’t mind .
But you’re really,really starting to creep me out.
OK, let me explain this in terms simple enough for you to understand.
Firstly, i made one short response to a post you made on page 1 of this thread, and then basically dropped the issue. I paid no attention to your further “contributions.” That’s how interested i am in stalking you.
But then i happened to notice the post where you accused people of being “bullies” and a “mob,” and yet in the same post took great delight in proclaiming that you had “bitch slapped” them. My only reason for returning was that it seems to me that bragging about bitch slapping someone on an internet message board is pretty hilarious coming from someone who described others as bullies. Basically, you’re the exact type of big-mouthed, tough-talk internet bully that you claim to be fighting against.
The only reason that i resumed my participation in this thread was to laugh at your stupidity and hypocrisy on this issue; it actually has nothing to do with your argument (such as it was) about the topic of the OP.
As for my alleged obsession, i was notified by email this morning of your new addition to the thread, and i posted my “yawn” comment simply to let you know that your tough-guy talk is pretty dull. The main mistake i made, i think, was in remaining subscribed to this thread. That’s an oversight i am correcting now, so you may feel secure that you next dumbshit comment will receive no attention from me at all, because i won’t even know it’s there.
See, I’m remaining subscribed. I was in the thread because L4L had espoused idiotic, foul, scumbag sentiments for the wrong reasons, but honestly, at this point making sure he doesn’t get the last word is just as important. For me, it’s like PvP in online gaming–the fun part isn’t griefing, nor is it the satisfaction of an honest win over a worthy opponent (well, that’s fun too, but it’s not what’s happening here.).
It’s the fact that the guy who is losing is claiming he is winning, and throwing everything including the kitchen sink at me to see what sticks.
When someone starts a fight, then loses it, then freaks out and tries to win by any silly lowdown trick they can think of, when I can imagine their keyboard filling up with tears, that’s the part that’s the most fun.
Lust4Life, I just imagine your periodic five-day breaks from this thread (especially in light of your claims that you “have a life”) are the waiting period for a new keyboard to be shipped to you. Because your previous one shorts out every time you read a response from me and your weepy, weepy tears fill it up to the brim.
“Mr. Nocera — You have destroyed everything and everyone related to Steven J. Baum PC. It took 40 years to build this firm and three weeks to tear down.”
To which I reply, “Good! Maybe you won’t be cheating assholes next time!”
We need to talk about thread ettiquette for just a moment.
Your original point:
This had some merit (and FTR, I agree with it). It would have been good for the thread if you had actually argued for that point. You might have actually been able to change someone’s mind. It’s happened before. At the very least, we could have gotten to an ‘agree to disagree’ state.
But the 1st time you were questioned on it, you snipped back with a ‘learn to read’ insult. And, not suprisingly, things went downhill from there. What you needed to do was to clarify, add some facts or anectdotes and restate.
Did you ever see ‘Thank You for Smoking’? The lead character states that person you arguing with is NOT who you are trying to persuade. THAT person probably already has an entrenched position. You are trying to persuade the watchers, the folks who haven’t chimed in yet, the folks who are going to consider viewpoints before forming their position. And you lost them early here.
Once you start hurling insults, the likelyhood that your argument finds favor decreases.
So…
Argue your position, try not to resort to insults, and if you say you are leaving the thread, then leave it. You lose credibility when you come back. spooje, who is only trying to help.
Hell, I agree that speculators deserve what they got, but L4L decided to totally ignore the fact that speculators were AT MOST 20% of the subprime market.
What I love is that the company had the audacity to contact the guy who ran the article at HuffPost and try to blame him for taking down the company. No, shithead, you did it to yourself.
