It’s not baseless if you were that nut making that stock market prediction it was based on a combination of ignorance which is excusable and malevolence which is deplorable. ---

It’s not worth my time to search. But it wouldn’t be uncharacteristic given your other posts on economics. Lots of words and charts but very faulty core assumptions. ---

[Stock Markets, Tariffs, Coronavirus - #170 by asahi](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stock-markets-tariffs-coronavirus/848451/170) is the thread where you gleefully thought the stock market was going to be down all cause orange man bad. You and the other stupid chicken littles in that thread were wrong. And evil. octopus on the other hand was smart and spent what little cash I had to buy the end of the world fall. It’s up quite a bit. That is real intelligence. Not your nonsensical bloviating. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > is the thread where you gleefully thought the stock market was going to be down all cause orange man bad. You claimed I advised people to sell in a panic. That is the claim I asked you to back up. Again, you _work_ to destroy the economic value of this Board. You are doing it now, as we speak, via your lies. You’ve gone beyond rules violations. You’ve gone beyond being a jerk. You are willfully destructive to this Board’s financial viability, Octo, and I am calling your ass out on this: _ **Your negative economic value is a fact which should be considered in all the moderators future dealings with you.** _ Get rid of the sunk-cost fallacy, guys, this one isn’t worth it anymore. ---

Take your so-called analysis to ATMB and see how far it takes your malevolent goofy ass. ---

Oh, the silliness of the accusation goes beyond saying, @GIGObuster. I’m just wondering how long the moderators are going to coddle somebody who, just above, scoffed at their time being considered a “resource” (I mean, do you understand anything about capitalism, Octo?). Is he going to get another eight ‘resourceless’ years of their lives? ---

I do appreciate the invite to discuss your economic value in ATMB. I love discussing business, it’s not a topic which comes up often around here, and the last time I had this chat with the moderators… [about Hurricane Ditka](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-economics-of-trolling-the-sdmb-and-moderator-decisions/843474)… he was banned within a month. Obviously I’m not taking credit, but I do hope the idea that _he just wasn’t worth it anymore_ was cemented in that thread for someone in authority. And now you challenge me to do the same for you? Sure. Challenge accepted. Don’t expect it tonight, tho. ---

There’s a few posters on my ignore list I might selectively engage with in the pit, or even occasionally uncover a post outside the pit (if no one sees it, no one flags it, and how else are they going to get banned?), but octo isn’t even worth that level of attention. I won’t even put in the effort to try and get him banned. He’s that inconsequential.
