Should RS7 lie then it's a lie, should Max lie it's not a lie, it's a ruse. Got it . Guess that's the Max Factor or Rules according to Max's Law.Interesting concept ! You got it, ElCubano dude Max the spinner queen LMAO !! A Great Abba number that would make. Hey wait, this actually seems like fun erm....... ahem, Max401....is this one of your aliasis. I mean this is supporting your case ,2+2 ?? eh? you know what I mean? Just kidding. It's all good detective work just that you've taken it over the top. RS7 takes some blame for rising to the bait. However. I wish you all good luck, good trading and Merry Christmas (cough..choke, yeah right )
Max, how about leaving my wife out of this. If she were butt ugly, since beauty is in the "eye of the beholder" and she looks like a model to me, are you objecting to my love? Does it bother you? Are you jealous that others have room in their lives for love, and not just hatred like you do? "Secret spy mission"....hardly. Just a little pawn in a dirty little war. And again, I readily admit (for the Nth time) that what I said was a compilation of my brother in law's and my own experiences. All to make the point that war sucks, even though guys like you clamor for it. Blood is real, and there is nothing pleasant about dying. Or losing limbs, or losing loved ones, and all the other things associated with war. Greg Allman was a friend. The Fillmore was a place where anyone with $3.50 could go see a rock and roll show. Am I an accomplished musician? Absolutely not. Do I play and try? Yes, since I was 12. Could I pull off a jam of "Season of the Witch" and have my lack of talent go un-noticed before I got off stage? As far as I know I did. No one seemed to notice that I could only play all the notes, but not really make music (which sufficed). Almost "every country in Europe"...no great feat. Anyone with a month and a little Fiat could have done that in 1978 when I honeymooned there with my first wife. As you well know, no visas were required in western europe then. No great accomplishment. By the way, we rented the car in Geneva and spent a week in Chamonix where you said I never could have been. Subsequently I posted a scanned copy of my lift ticket, but still, you could not admit to being wrong. Photos taken from the Vallee Blanc? Still not adequate "proof" for you. So please, stop asking. It is readily apparent that no matter what "proof" is submitted, you will deny any value to it. So why even ask? What drives your obsession? Same with my experience in Monaco. You said it was impossible that I could have been there. You went on and on about where my visa was issued. I showed that too, along with photos of my son on the beach. But somehow you concluded that the visa, which was so important until I posted it meant nothing. And my son was, by your implication, just some strange kid in a picture that "proved" nothing. And amazingly my wife finds this same kid in Menton a few days later, and still, it is all BS to you. Marc Rich? NEVER said I was "intimate" with the situation. Just familiar. I said what my wife did for a living. Figure it out. It is a lot easier than anything else you are trying to disprove. I even said who she worked for at that time by name. So do your super-sleuthing. Should be child's play for you. "Just came across"....gee Max, how did that happen? No great effort I am sure. Must be nice to have so much time to devote to trying to discredit me. Honestly, how about giving us an estimate on how much time you have spent scouring all my old posts? Is this normal behavior? (no answer expected). Look Max, I put a lot of effort into trying to put forth what I believed would be of benefit to less experienced traders. Took a lot of flack and wanted to see if I was wasting my time. Seems the vast majority appreciated the efforts. Tripack even compiled a "gems" thread out of selected posts. But as my friend ElCubano would say "FREEDOM"! You don't want to read it, don't. We can all be selective. Your choice. What have you contributed? And for what it's worth, if I had a sister (I don't) I would encourage her to go out with you. Life is a series of experiences which educate us. Going out with you would greatly diminish a time consuming learning curve. She could learn a lifetimes worth of understanding about misfits in one evening with a guy like you. Save a lot of time. By the way, why is it that you still refuse to even say where you are from (let alone anything else about you)? Maybe Andy is right. Maybe the paranoia is from a cocaine problem. Whatever, there is certainly a problem. And as has been said before so many times.....if every word I ever posted was a lie (as is NOT the case), who cares but you? What makes you so obsessive? And please, in your efforts to discredit me, how about playing fair? For a guy that loves to use the word "EXACTLY" how do you come off saying that I claimed to have trained thousands of traders? If you can't scour old posts and find EXACTLY the "evidence" you seek, you think it's fair to just make up quotes? If you are going to quote me, fine. If you are going to paraphrase me, why not at least make the FACTS accurate? EXACTLY accurate? Well, the market is going to open momentarily. I know this is probably irrelevant to you, but some of us actually trade. So for now, gotta go! Peace, rs7 PS: OVERtheLINE, sorry you lost money to the Market Makers on the CBOE. And I apologize for trying to support my family by working there. I promise not to do it again
Wow!!!! I missed my bet for sure. Of course I should have realized that Max would account for one "normal" vote. But where the hell did he muster another 3? I also was obviously wrong about the thread getting shut down pronto. Which is a good thing. Looks like Max has worn himself out. As well as his ridiculous "cause". And I for one truly do appreciate the trading posts made by RS7. They were mostly quite informative. Sometimes a bit rambling, but I guess that is his style. Sometimes he was real concise and sometimes not. Sometimes really funny and sometimes just real serious. I am sorry I have not seen the really funny stuff coming out of his posts that I used to expect. I wonder if he is just really pissed about max, or if it's the market, or what. But rs and Mrsubliminal used to crack me up. Now it seems rsi has cut back on the humor. Cheer up rsi! Get back to your old self! don't let a moron like Max change your attitude. Hope that is not the reason. MarcD
Max, how about leaving my wife out of this. No one is talking about your wife. Merely an observation, since you have brought her up in at least a hundred posts. If she were butt ugly, since beauty is in the "eye of the beholder" and she looks like a model to me, are you objecting to my love? Not even. Does it bother you? That you love your wife? Don't be silly; of course not. Are you jealous that others have room in their lives for love, and not just hatred like you do? I donât hate you, RS7. These are just words on a computer screen; how can one hate anybody on an anonymous message forum? However, others donât bring up seemingly every single facet about their personal lives every chance they get.
If I brought up my wife in at least 100 posts, it must be because I am "obsessed" with her. Because I am in love with her. Does this mean you are in love with me? After all, you have brought ME up in more posts than I have her. Far, far more. Or....maybe I am just paranoid. Since hardly anyone else seems to have noticed this phenomena. Peace, rs7
As you have me. Hell, you devote entire threads to me, so your question is specious; somewhere someone who has come to dislike their spouse may surpass all the above posts, combined. You brought up your wife as a topic and an observation was made as to your posting quantity. Doesn't mean you have to presume its something negative; maybe you are paranoid.
And again, I readily admit (for the Nth time) that what I said was a compilation of my brother in law's and my own experiences. Then you have no honor. Only way after the fact did you recant and then say it was a "compilation." You originally claimed the entire story as your combat experience. You included one of your favorite phrases, âI can assure you.â Check with your attorney partner and inquire what happens to credibility after the first lie is revealed in a litigation or other legal forum. You want to call my ruse the big lie? Fine, but this discussion you keep insisting upon is not about me, it's about your favorite subject... you. Greg Allman was a friend. Sure he was. Scan a few pictures of olâ Greg and you. Or since you claim Cher was your pal at the time, how about a nice shot of the three of you together. Hell, or just you and Cher. Almost "every country in Europe"...no great feat. Good for you. Of course your passport has all the stamps. As you well know, no visas were required in western europe then. FYI, the only country to ever require a visa for the last 30 years or so, was France from about early 1987 to around 1990. Photos taken from the Vallee Blanc? Still not adequate "proof" for you. So please, stop asking. It is readily apparent that no matter what "proof" is submitted, you will deny any value to it. You have no proof. The lift ticket doesnât mean you skied Vallee Blanche (not âBlancâ). Is the person in the ski pass in the photo of Vallee Blanche? No description of the ride up? No mention of lightheadedness at around 10,000 feet? So why even ask? What drives your obsession? Itâs your obsession to prove yourself right on a continual basis that is the major precipitant to which you so vociferously complain about. Why did I originally ask? Reread the letter to Baron. Same with my experience in Monaco. You said it was impossible that I could have been there. You went on and on about where my visa was issued. I showed that too, along with photos of my son on the beach. But somehow you concluded that the visa, which was so important until I posted it meant nothing. And my son was, by your implication, just some strange kid in a picture that "proved" nothing. And amazingly my wife finds this same kid in Menton a few days later, and still, it is all BS to you. Itâs two pictures of a child and a scan of a visa. Marc Rich? NEVER said I was "intimate" with the situation. Just familiar. Sounds like you have intimate knowledge to me. âI happen to be quite familiar with the Mark Rich fiasco, and I assure you it had NOTHING to do with a âbribe.ââ I said what my wife did for a living. Every chance you get. But it's because you love her. However, if she was just an everyday housewife, instead of a big executive, I gotta think your love would not manifest itself so much on this forum. Figure it out. It is a lot easier than anything else you are trying to disprove. Get a clue. I donât disprove a damn thing. Your problem is that you canât prove anything. And you bring it on yourself by constantly alluding to your âworldliness.â You more often than not come off like an arrogant braggart. And apparently, Iâm not the only one who has teed off on your bullsh*t. Whatâs amusing is your take on the same subject: âBlowhards are blowhards. Success is usually accompanied by humility and tolerance and good vibes.â RS7, humble you ain't.
Why, jeez, 777, pretty rude of you to intrude upon RS7's "ruining threads" thread. Hey, is it possible to ruin a thread, that's about ruining threads? PS- As funny as the message in your poster is, ya gotta admit, it's pretty cruel. I'm sure you can come with something better.
The Rules of Flaming #3 Word Skills Flame wars are all about words. If you are not articulate, you may get burned. If you are dyxlesic, you may not be taken seriously. But the key to survival is those word play techniques; sarcasm, irony. Words can brutalise your opponent - your opponent's words can do the same to you. The rule is - don't give it if you can't take it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #31 Patronizing Patronizing your opponent is easy: Preface your argument with unnecessary adverbs - "Clearly, Fred Flooney is a liar" "Obviously, no-one believes political extremists". But do not forget that other readers may resent this approach. You need to balance this risk against the possible advantage. Illustration: "You are an idiot. You take snippettes out of context ... so I'm going to take you thru, step by step" This approach can so anger your opponent that tempers are lost - with unpredictable consequences. Be warned, it is all too easy to be boring if you overdo it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #32 Psychoanalysis You may be tempted to psychoanalyze by the seat of your pants: you've heard of Freud. You read the Sunday supplements: you may feel you're qualified to psychoanalyze your opponent. "By using the word 'zucchini' in her posting, Polly shows she has a bad case of penis envy." Well, that's fine. But if your opponent knows more than you ... On the other hand, if someone is ranting in an incoherent way, and becoming more and more irrelevent, it might be better to imply mental illness (there's a lot of it about, after all). See innuendo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #33 Fiction One of the fascinating aspects of flame wars is how quickly the truth is left behind. If your back is against the wall, you will be tempted to make things up: it's important to make your lies sound true. The rule is: if you do not tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, you are on your own if caught out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #331 Extrapolation Your opponent may be the gentlest, sweetest person on the planet. They can, however, be reduced to screaming wreckage by extrapolation. For example, a suspicion of sexism can be extrapolated to the greater charge of Redneck. A chance comment about Welsh people may be pushed through racism into White Sheet territory. In most cases, however, this is like using a laser beam to open a beer can. Use carefully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #332 Generalization While extrapolation moves from an attitude to a specific charge, generalization does the reverse. If a chance comment reveals a dislike or allegiance, this can be generalized to insult a person's taste, backgound ... whatever. But it can leave you wide open, as it frequently insults innocent bystanders too, pulling people in against you. Avoid it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #333 Exaggeration Exaggeration is a legitimate weapon, the best. You won't find better! Unless overdone (See also understatement). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #334 Understatement Understatement, the opposite of exaggeration, can be quite elegant. It is probably a minor form of sarcasm; the same rules apply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #34 Innuendo Innuendo is very powerful, and very hurtful. "I have always stood up to bullies" ... "I have always tried to understand mental illness" ... "I never realized the Nazis still marched in your area". Innuendo succeeds where insults do not, especially if there's a bit of humour there too. The 1996 Flame Convention agreed that "As innuendo can do so much damage, its use must be restricted to (a) retaliation against personal insult and (b) protection of vulnerable third parties." In practice, this has been taken to justify its use against people who are grossly sexist, racist or who have attacked those unable to protect themselves. But if all else fails, all's fair ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #35 Clichés Include Clichés: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit ... Lies, damned lies and statistics. Use foreign phrases if possible; Latin is the lingua franca of flaming; Try to use "ad nauseam" at least once per flame. It doesn't mean anything; but it gives that polished feel to your postings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #36 Sarcasm If you really want to hurt - or to stop an unstoppable assault - this one is the best. But do not expect to be friends afterward. Sarcasm is the verbal demonstration of contempt. Once released, there is no reverse. Some people get offended at any use of sarcasm; Kassandra Oftroy's signature ('I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person') started a mini war on one group.
