I've already thanked you for your cut and pastes about Goldman Sachs. If I post a few requests for your further thoughts and some explanations of your take on this complicated Goldman Sachs issue, will you stop making a fool of me on this Forum and allow me to spread my wings just a little and find friends and acceptance from the others here? Being liked on this ...[text shortened]... es. You are so brutal. I am asking you, heart to heart, please go easy on me, Scriabin. Please.
All right already. But you are again having a laugh. Fine, I'll play along, nod nod, wink wink, Bob's your uncle.
don't know which is worse, your superciliousness as you follow me around and add commentary to derail a perfectly legitimate area of discussion, or your feigned humility and obvious sarcasm.
but let's pretend it isn't sarcasm. Let's assume, arguendo, that you really would like to change the state of play.
I would point out I've already assisted in short circuiting the "open msg to FMF" thread, as I was quite straightforward about it being unjust and unnecessary. I wouldn't have done what they were doing to you there to Jeremiah, and he was a bigger pain in the rear end by far.
I didn't snipe or try to derail your thread on that bar scene in the other forum -- I was careful not to ruffle any of your many feathers.
What you put in the plural as my "cut and pastes" was one NYT article as background to a series of allegations I've made about this one investment bank which I believe the equivalent today of what Jay Gould, J.P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie were to their respective eras.
You might say I don't trust them.
so you come into the thread just to comment on my posts and add nothing at all to the discussion because it really doesn't interest you.
And you ask in all insincerity for me to be understanding, etc. I am reminded of Bogart's wonderful Sam Spade confronted by his late partner's wife, asking Sam "to be kind" to her. The expression on his face and his terrific dialogue fits how I feel perfectly. However, unlike Sam, I'll keep it under my hat.
Spread your wings all you want -- leave me alone and I'll refrain from pointing out how you manage to make quite enough of a fool of yourself without help from me or anyone else.
