Okie dokie, Hal.
Dave Bowman: All right, HAL; I'll go in through the emergency airlock. HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult. Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors! HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye

Let's have a contest to see who can use the word "meltdown" the most times in one post. Ready? Go!

Go take your medication tw - tw is totally irrational - yesman proved repeatedly what tw did and tw istoo small a man to admit it. What little credibility tw had here, evaporated with tw's inability to admit when tw was wrong - AGAIN. tw did it six months ago and tw just did it again.

There is an industry related board that I frequent and there is a horrible little troll that lives there with a posting style very similar to our resident's. The only subject that this troll can go on about is how financial advisors are secretly the devil in disguise. He frequently uses the terms "mental midget", "where the work gets done", and rails on his perception of other posters emotional state. Hmmm.

Return to an earlier post that demonstrated how tw steps back and sees a same event completely different: Quote:
I never apologize for conflict created because the other took offense due to emotionally based assumptions. Nobody should. yesman065 took offense at something that did not exist apparently because he did what children and racists also do - entertain their emotions. Now look at that sentence. It was intentionally written that way. Read it again. What did I just do? Did I call yesman065 a child or a racist? Yes if you entertain your emotions. No if you look at that sentence as it was intended - just blunt facts. For those who still cannot see it: tw never said yesman065 is a racist or a child. Obviously. But I must post this expecting yesman065 to impose his emotions into that sentence - to assume I called him a child or a racist. Demonstrated again is the point. Why did tw so accurately defend the troops when so many so hated America as to believe myths and lies about Saddam? You can see it in that post that contrasted and compared the difference between what yesman065 saw and what tw saw. Notice how yesman065 saw things in that post that were not posted, and were not implied. He applies his own biases to assume facts that did not exist and that were not even intended. It says much about him. Same applies in this thread. Lookout123 is upset because of a fact he does not dispute. Stock brokers tend to underperform the market by maybe 1%. That makes lookout123 mad. Apparently he applies his emotions to instead see "Lookout123 underperforms the market by 1%." But that was not posted, was it? Is it my fault that he sees that? Not for one minute. It demonstrates a point I make repeatedly. People get mad and post insults when their emotions cannot grasp, change, or dispute facts. Ibram - based on your posts, you more than anyone else should appreciate how how some denyperspectives that are unpopular - sometimes with insult. People get angry - entertain conclusions based in emotion - when you are not 'one of them' or state things they cannot emotionally grasp. Well I am not one of 'them'. I routinely stand back and look for larger and alternative perspectives - the refutable fact. One fact that makes lookout123 so angry: stock brokers average a 1% underperformance. Lookout123 apparently takes it so personal as if it says, "HE underperforms the market". He should be acknowledging how many of his peers don't do a good job. He doesn't. Instead he takes personal offense of a fact that is not a statement about him. Some people have difficulty emotionally dealing with facts; instead personalize things as yessman065 did. Ibram - your own posts say your peers have trouble with your lifestyle perspectives. Why? Are you a threat to anyone? Depends on whether they acknowledge you for who you are - or do as yesman065 has done here - apply his personal biases. Appreciate why some remain distant from you. Many people just fear anything contrarian because they cannot get beyond their emotion biases. If you don't understand, well fine. However from your posts, I would expect you to understand tolerance far better than yesman065 or lookout123. Both even take insult where no such insult existed apparently because they have not learned to stop personalizing - therefore are less tolerant and easily angered. Lookout123 so dislikes that stock brokers underperform the market by 1% as to take personal insult. He apparently assumes that was directed at him. It clearly and obviously was not. But decisions based in emotions are the foundation of intolerance. Same reason why yesman065 assumed he was being attacked when obviously no such attack existed. Same reason would explain why some people just cannot get along with you. Its not you. Some poeple routinely entertain their emotions rather then see reality. Yesman065 saw insult where none obviously exists. |

Oh almight tw
 - the one and only so full of statements and talk without action. Have you once responded to my post directed specifically to you, or answered the questions put to YOU? Unlike an ASSHOLE who only claims TW to have not insulted, yet when shown he has, still ignores the reality of that which has been proven repeatedly. Shall I post them all again so you can ignore them and act as if nothing happened? Should I waste my time? Are you worth it? Are you man enough to realize that most of us here are smart and can to read between the lines, TW. Surely you can see that only a COWARD word attempt to ignore the facts when he was wrong. It takes a real man to take responsiblity for his actions, apologize and move on. edit* Is there an attack in the above text? Last edited by yesman065; 08-23-2007 at 12:17 AM.
