It is worse than that, damur complained that I should not get the last word in the ATMB thread, so that is why he had to bump it. It was that pathetic…
Says one of the Board’s stalkers.
I see from the diagram that the anus of the octopus is located right beside its ink sac, which is fitting as its communications issue from both.
From the thread you linked to:
I see no mention of selling by JohnT. One could argue that perhaps buying would be a smarter move at that moment, but if one thought the market would drop further, why buy right then? (It does appear Mar 2020 was the low point for the DJIA, but it remained low if slowly rising the rest of the year.
Is this going to be your go to response whenever anyone tries to engage you?
Remember, my theses is that, as an economic unit, Octopus is a negative contributor to this Board’s balance sheet and income statements. And what you quoted goes to that.
Let me explain…
Octopus, in an effort to deflect my argument that he is an economic liability, accused me of telling people to sell their stock in the March, 2020, freefall. I asked him for a cite, knowing that I did no such thing, and he quotes the Stock Market Corona thread as proof.
He did this knowing that I would have to spend my time refuting him. But here’s the thing: the entire accusation was a lie to begin with. Had Octopus been honest, he would have withdrawn the silly charge above because he did so in the cited thread.
Let me quote our exchange, in full. You do not have to expand the links to get the flow of the conversation, btw:
Some posts, then this occurred:
(“DCA” in the above stands for dollar cost averaging.)
I mean, this entire exchange was the complete and utter opposite of what he said it was. And it’s this lying which exacts an economic cost on every poster he lies about and to. He imposed a cost on me for having to defend this shit, he imposes costs on the mods who are now presented with yet another example of his negative value to the SDMB as well as an outright violation of the ‘don’t be a jerk’ rule, my God, as a business case analysis, Mr Sprint 1,000, you’re just a financial disaster for this place.
Here’s a new thread for non-squidbot discussion of trolls
And it costs him nothing, as he refuses to ever back up his claims. This forces others to try to do his homework for him, find what he may be referring to, and then explain why his claim is wrong. All he has to do is to say, “That’s not what I was referring to” and expect the scavenger hunt to go on.
I still remember an exchange I had with him when he was relatively new to the board (and I wasn’t that much less so) where we had a useful and productive conversation where we agreed on more than we disagreed.
That was the last time I’ve seen him contribute anything meaningful, and for the last 5 years at least, probably longer, his presence here has been only to insult the members and staff of this board with his unsubstantiated accusations.
I really don’t understand what he gets out of it, and even less, what we get out of it. He’s one of only two posters I have on permanent ignore, and yet, he still manages to suck all the air out of any thread he shoves his little mollusk tentacles into.
Maybe we ought to listen to this guy. That first sentence goes directly to my point, less the economics of it all:
In 2018 Octo admitted he was a drain on resources:
Seriously, no business in America would tolerate this shit.
The presence of the Pit is proof otherwise. Think about it. It’s meant to generate and sustain drama.
Here’s the next gen thread for those discussing their fascination with their assigned roles for comedic put downs amid twerking for likes.
Nope. The presence of the Pit does not make you any less a drain on Board resources. Try again.
WoW! 2kb of server space!
Verification that he even exists, and that people respond to him. Otherwise, his life would be even more empty and meaningless.
It’s sad, actually.
The sad thing is the demand for an echo chamber. Sad and pathetic.
Well, your right wing echo chamber is demanded by guys like you; yes, it is sad.
That’s obviously untrue. Guys like me demand the opposite of an echo chamber. That’s why I post at a place where I have a minority view. I don’t demand homogeneity of thought. C’mon now.
Uh, like you pointing at the caricature that the right is doing with CRT and claiming it was not bullshit is not an example of the hive you want to propagate.
What you miss is clear, the quantity of bullshit pushed by the leadership of the Republican Party is bigger by many factors to the one that Democrats push. Your big mistake is to assume that groups that by their nature are dedicated to fact-check stuff would see both parties as having a very similar quantity and quality of issues, the reality is that most who are skeptical in nature are currently seeing more issues with the bullshit that the Republicans and most conservatives are pushing.
I’m not following your reasoning.
Just the CRT example is enough, already in the tread there was an example of an Asian researcher that showed the bad things China was doing to the Uyghurs, besides that being an item that should blow your head, it makes clear that the caricature the right has about CRT was poppycock. It was clear that to make the sick narrative from the right to work, a ton of information and context about what CRT was doing was willfully omitted by the sources of information you rely on.
