it has come to my attention that there is a significant portion of people in this thread who seem only capable of piling on others with negativity and yet rarely post original thoughts that are constructive
i suggest instead of always trying to beat people down they instead try lifting them up...its surprising how good it can make one feel
just my two sats
This is a weird statement.
I wonder about what is your reference, both in regards to "coming to your attention" and also in terms of "actual examples of "beating people down."?
Sure, I do understand that sometimes arguments might devolve into
ad hominem attacks, but sometimes there still might be substance that is mixed in there...
If you cannot resist, #label me as confusedyea...i guess it is
i have been frustrated at many levels lately due to my own personal life and a few of the people in it...and i suppose some...or perhaps a lot of that...is leaking outwards
Seems that there's likely to be some leakage here and there along the way... hard to prevent that, especially when any of us are likely to have RLs IRL.
what i do see after some thought about your comment is it is most likely this incessant need i seem to have to try and impose my own personal set of morals onto others...not really a healthy place to be
as for a example..here are a couple that set me off we argue..we banter...we pitch each other shit in these here parts to borrow some of your vernacular...and it is mostly done in a friendly...if raw at times...sort of way
i am fine with that...what bothers me is when it is intentionally cruel and/or persistent ie mindrust all is fair in love and war but i do not think this falls under that definition kicking someone when they are down and beaten raises the hackles on that set of personal morals i spoke of
Of course, we are going to reach differing judgements both in terms of whether a certain name might be raised, and also the extent to which to describe details to make whatever point that we are going to make, including whether we had made fair representations or even tried to make fair representations.
For sure, we are not going to come to similar conclusions, and surely members have mentioned previously how unfair/cruel it is to be bringing up the mindrust example and even sometimes examples of the circumstances of other members.
Any of us risk fair/unfair ridicule in these here parts, and surely the more personal details we provide might provide hooks upon which ridiculing can be made (again fairly or unfairly).
I have personally experienced ridicule through the years, and sometimes I feel that there are misrepresentations or even wrong conclusions or intentional spinning of the facts - logic or unfairly bringing up my details, including that some members will never bring up their own details but monday morning quarter-back you regarding details that you have provided.
Overall, I think that there are a lot of decent balances that are reached in this thread, and sometimes even we are able to beat trolls or shills into submission - do some innocent newbie members get caught up and scared away from the thread.. perhaps? perhaps?
another was the flippant attitude with which you personally responded to a newish forum member...stating in no uncertain terms that you were offering investment advice
hahahahaha
From your description, I know the post.
Here's the link for reference.I am not going to be regretful about that one, at all.. not one iota. I might even rub it in a bit when the BTC price goes up a bit more in order to pour one out and to be sorry for his/her loss.
even tho i am pretty sure everyone understood your sarcasm Jay...what if they had not?
Sure we can call it sarcasm, but there should be no sympathy for some newbie coming in and asking such a dumb and seemingly trollish question. If he was really trying to time the market about when to sell and to buy back, after we have already had a 56% correction, I have no sympathy for that... even if some members might want to more seriously grapple with such supposed dilemma.
what if they took that as something serious from a well known and respected forum member and sold their stash at a loss...i know i would feel devastated
That's called a weak hand, and any of us might need to be told some things that are the opposite from time to time, and again, I am not going to regret it..even though I did not put any disclaimer about DYOR or YMMV or any other disclaimer.
By the way, there are some dumb fucks that actually believe that we are in a bear market.. and too bad for them, and sure they might be correct. Remember that I was wrong about all of 2018, and finally I agreed that we were in a bear market in November 2018 after the BTC price crashed from $6k-ish to $3,124..? There were some peeps who benefitted from doing the opposite from what what I was saying during that time, and I give few shits. I am not taking back any of my posts or do I have regrets. Peeps need to be smart enough to employ their own judgement, and if they are teetering on the edge of selling and one legendary member such as yours truly causes them to go over the edge and to do the opposite of what a more rational self would have done, that still is on them.
i have a hard enough time with the charts i post for that very same reason
Well, its up to you if you feel that you need to put a disclaimer or if you might have persuaded someone in one direction or another if you are going to feel guilty about the matter.
I understand that one trade could cause real devastation in the life of someone who was ONLY temporarily on the edge.. but sure, once they pull that trigger to buy or sell, they could truly screw the fuck out of their lil selfie... and maybe their whole family and some babies might die too.. and who is responsible? They are.
I understand that there can be some pretty tragic situations when it comes to trading repercussions.. and some people are real weak emotionally, but they are on the interwebs taking advices... They better be careful.
caveat emptor.anyway..for the most part...it has little to due with the people in this thread, the price action or the wall movements of bitcoin...it is my own personal demons...so my apologies for that
I understand also that there can be some very BIG tragedies going on in the lives of some of us, whether health, relations, finances or a combination - and there are also some people who come to the interwebs for validation.. and sure it makes some of us feel good if we are praised.. and sometimes there can be conversations that really grate us for a long time.. whether the interaction is with disingenuine people or cruel people, and sometimes the world is cruel too.. I am doubtful if we can even expect sensitivity from other long term members here.. so there is some need for some thick skin too.. or maybe just avoid some places, including the interwebs when feeling more emotionally vulnerable... or otherwise in a place that is not good to be dealing with these kinds of interactions on the interwebs matters.
I would tell you to fuck off as a term of endearment, but maybe you are not in the mood for that, since you are currently mad at me as a purported internet meanie. So I will just call you toxic moxic, and proclaim that I am not a snowman, and that is about as much lovey-dovey
nono homo shit that you are going to get from me at least in this here post, in these here parts on this here day.
