Mav invites RCG to dinner...will he accept?

Quote from RCG Trader:

I have never called you a racist, Piggy. You have not said or done anything to suggest that. Please do some research before you paint yourself into a corner that most people would not want to be in.

Umm.. brasshole has definitely called me a racist before, multiple times. It really turns racism into a joke when anonymous handles on the interwebs are constantly calling everyone with an opposing point of view fucking racist. I pretty much think/know that you guys do it to 'win' arguments but if you actually believe what you are posting then you are paranoid.

I read through every post of Mavs in this thread, LOOKING for racism, and a whole ONE sentence struck me as overboard. He doesn't like you for whatever reason but just because you're black doesn't make him a racist. By the way, he called you a liar right out of the gate but you were the one that started talking up the violence.. and you are lying in this thread right now dude. have you ever been in jail or not?
 
See, RCG? Piggy thinks he's clever and that he can say just enough to stay on the decent side of the line, ever so delicately playing chicken with its very edges. Except that he's not quite as clever as he thinks he is, and his crayon often overshoots. He thinks he's the cleverest one in the room and is convinced that he can make himself invisible by closing his eyes.

Brass, you probably won't understand this, but when human males argue they escalate things by pushing buttons.. they say shit to piss the other guy off. these two don't like one another, they are both pushing buttons. Just because Mav is white and RCG is black doesn't make the white guy a racist. You can 'connect the dots' all you want but I am just not a racist. It is that simple.

I think RCG won't meet you in person because it would reveal his true identity.

Not his identity, his character. Man can hide his identity. Much harder to hide character.

Piggy, I don't dislike Ron. I dislike the fact he lies almost pathologically. But it could just be his own insecurity, who knows. It's possible that I could meet the guy in real life but I won't base my judgement of him based on an internet persona (like some do here). I'm willing to give the guy a fair shake.
 
Quote from Brass:

To be candid, I don't remember his calls or anyone else's on the economy because I never really follow them. I only remember some large losses he incurred, as described by him here at ET. I don't know if they were offset by his wins, but that is not the general impression I have. My recollection is that his biggest claim to ET fame was that he made something over a million dollars trading bonds one year, many years ago, and he was sure to bring it up from time to time. To be sure, that's nothing to frown about by any stretch. But, unless I am very mistaken, that was as good as it got and he never came close again. Do you have any specific recollection of his economic vision translating into meaningful tangible return while he was (or still is?) here at ET, and that he was trading net positive? Serious question.

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...0873&perpage=20&highlight=pabst&pagenumber=40 bottom of this page he made that call when bonds were around 116, by dec they were 141,to be honest, this diatribe reminds me of pabst's making racist statements and then defending them, he left soon after,I know all about hatred, it consumed about 2o years of my life,,big waste of time and negative energy,since we all have a tendency towards hatred,I take the other side when i see it, sort of reversing the feeling or slow therapy ,personal change is a bitch

I had a best friend like that,no longer with us, whatever he accomplished, his take on it would be 3 times the truth, interesting thing about him, he never once would put anyone else down, the one quality outshined the fault

You throw enough of it against the wall, some of it is going to stick. The question is, and remains, was he trading net positive before he took flight? Again, serious question. My impression is that he was not. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Since you apparently followed his journal, did you actually get the sense that, apart from all the commentary, he was above water?
