vox, you are correct that my posts have been leveled directly at Jim C alone. You’ve also indicated that you understand why, which I appreciate. I enjoy engaging in conversations whether it be in person or through various forms of media. It’s in an atmosphere where divergent opinions are openly shared that understanding beyond what we ourselves would ever discover on our own takes place. Being a rather stubborn individual I willfully admit that my mind has been changed on many occasions because civil discourse took place. There are articles that I don’t agree with both on 24hgold and other sites but in almost every case I come away with, if not a changed mind then at least a better understanding of the author’s mind set. My peeve is when someone hijacks any such forum for the express purpose of broadcasting their narrow minded hatred of other individuals engaged in the process. My first responses to Jim C were an attempt to get his attention with some left handed humor (my apologies to all the left handed people, this is a common expression where I live that is used without malice), the meds thing for instance, and hopefully let him understand that his comments are first and foremost hate campaigns and always at least 90% off topic. I can only express that as he has proven that rational and focused commentary are outside of his abilities and my comment’s then obviously focused trying to impart on him that what he has to say grates on individuals, not because of an opposing stance to a particular article or idea, rather because of his continued irrational frothing at the mouth.

Your assessment that my comments have spurred him on seems to be accurate. Rational minds would take negative feedback and then reflect on their validity. Irrational minds simply enjoy the fact that they have drawn attention to themselves allowing more opportunities to crow the same material and smear any individuals whom they perceive have wronged them.

I thank you for the rebuke, as is I was growing weary of this nonsense and was ready to simply stop visiting this forum. I do have to wonder why though, have Jim C’s comments not been removed for being off topic and simply repetitive? Looking at his history this has been going on for some time.

Read the headline :“We run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us from seeing it.” Blaise Pascal, Pensées Theconsciousless functionary guided by expediency is the very image of the regulatory and banking bureaucrat of today, from Tim Geithner to GaryGensler to Ben Bernanke, and further, almost every member of the governments of the Western World...Read More
