How about a reality check?
Everyone who read that other thread realizes that Doove debunked
nothing. The post to which he referred (#12) was simply an incoherent non sequitur. The meat of the matter was contained in post #14, to which he did not respond, choosing instead to characterize it as being filled with "mumbo jumbo" and "fancy phrases." Nothing I wrote involved any phrases or nomenclature that you wouldn't see in widely circulated publications such as
Business Week and
Fortune, which are obviously not written for sophisticated professional investors and fund managers. If Doove couldn't understand it, then it's no wonder that he's confused by this topic. If he wants to respond, perhaps he can get someone to dumb it down to a 4th-grade level so that he can at least get the gist of it.
Perhaps Doove assumes that calling people "narcissists" will deflect attention from the obvious fact that he posted something he doesn't understand and can't figure out how to defend. Posting a non-answer and then declaring victory might work on ignorant simpletons, but a lot of people here are capable of critical thinking.
I'm not sure what Little Stevie's problem is, but I imagine that joining Doove's "hallelujah chorus" by giggling like a schoolgirl with all that Marshall-style "ha ha ha ha" stuff really made a wonderful impression on everyone! He can hardly go a half-dozen posts without calling those with whom he disagrees "dumb shits" or "morons", often using thread-polluting, brightly colored, and ridiculously oversized fonts. That sort of behavior is a hallmark of someone suffering from insecurity or other personality disorders. Stevie's insults are usually accompanied by a rebuttal (or supposed rebuttal) to someone else's claim, but in this thread he didn't even attempt that, probably because he realizes that my statements are fully correct. If he could have countered them in a cogent, reasoned manner, does anyone doubt that he would have done so?
Stevie is simply an internet bully who enjoys picking on people he considers intellectually inferior. He's sort of like a shoolyard bully who delights in beating up weaker classmates, but doesn't know what to do when he encounters a much bigger, stronger kid. Typically, he hopes he can quietly sneak away while nobody notices his cowardice.
Little Stevie is also a
plagiarist.
Check out this thread from last year:

That's really quite embarrassing, don't you think?
I think everyone can see why I regard these two clowns with open contempt. All they know how to do is annoy and insult people.
But if anyone wants to have a reasoned discussion of this issue without all the deflections, I'm game!
