Quote from Hamlet:

Are you saying then that there is a demand (or need) for more exchanges than we currently have, as Rockford was implying?

I never implied that there is a demand or need for more exchanges. I said that there is a demand and a need for more choice and better quality, which might mean more exchanges, or fewer, or the same number, but better than what we have.

I think that Hamlet should be banned from the website for constantly posting false descriptions of what I said. He has done this repeatedly in this thread and elsewhere on ET. I consider this harassment. I also think that this thread has deteriorated to the point where it is absolutely worthless, nobody is reading it or contributing to it, Hamlet is using it to harass me, and it should be closed.

No, I already said I don't care about the poll results. The question as to what I care about is not relevant to the thread topic. I want to stop you from posting false descriptions of my statements. If you could continue your silly discussion without harassing me, then I would have no objection to leaving the thread open. I repeatedly demanded that you cease and desist, yet you continued to harass me in this thread, over and over again, by posting false descriptions of my statements.

This thread has deteriorated to the point where all of the postings are just completely ridiculous, absurd, worthless, and harassment.

You sound like a crybaby and I and others have enjoyed the entertainment of your rants and whines, but it's getting way off-topic.

Anyone wanting to know what you posted can read your posts.
Your posts were quoted whenever a question was posed.

If you do not like this thread, do not post. You added nothing to it anyway except ad nauseam losing argument defensive tactics and evasion of posed questions which challenged your argument. If your arguments were not based on such weak and faulty logic, you should have been able to defend them and answer our questions. The fact that you chose only to evade, obfuscate, insult and attack personally says all that needs to be said at this point.

Good Luck.

Hamlet is lying. This thread contains false descriptions, and false quotations, of my own statements. This thread contains what are presented as word-for-word "quotations" of me, but which are in fact bogus and deliberately dishonest because I never said them. Hamlet continued to post this false information over and over again, even after I demanded he stop. Hamlet's other comments about me are lies, and are not worthy of any detailed response.

This thread has degenerated to the point where it contains no further discussion of the thread topic. The only postings being made now consist of random absurd comments and jokes, plus harassment and lies directed at me.

More of the same from my friend.

You are free to ignore this thread. You seem obsessed by it though; not healthy imo. I suggest finding something more productive. The record shows I have not lied nor harassed you in any way.

Good Luck.
 
Quote from Hamlet:

Well put. That certainly would be capitalism operating at it's finest. It's nice to actually get a mature response on this thread, or any response at all.

Are you saying then that there is a demand (or need) for more exchanges than we currently have, as Rockford was implying? If so, what do you think is keeping this demand from leading to the creation of more exchanges?

You certainly got your mature response.

Has jimrockford ignorance baked your love.:D
 
Quote from 1000:

I would again like to respectfully disagree with you.

1. I am a trader, and probably an active one. Probably whipping your rats' ass on most days.

2. If you say Marxist, than probably an aristocratic Marxist, in which case extreme capitalism = communism.

3. There is a bridge for sale, I think, as you drive over from NJ to Manhattan. How do you propose to fund it. Maintenance cost is about $100m per annum, or rebuild at about $14b. Would you like to sell it to Saudi Arabia. (This is an analogous e.g. to equate to the exchange and specialist system, which you call an unfair monopoly).

4. How would you categorize MSFT (another analogous e.g. to refute your argument against the current system). PS. No childishness please, you know what I am talking about.

5. I may not be familiar with the governing rules, which are there to suit the situation (ever heard of executive orders?). An analogous e.g. is a driver drives the vehicle, the mechanic mends and maintains the vehicle. This is in direct contrast to you calling me communistic.

6. More competition thwarts capitalism, because it undercuts the system. The focus should be on the direct and adequate function of the system, and not the rate of functionality. An analogous e.g. is over revving a engine, eventually you will fry the pistons. You are purporting to run a macro engine on micro pistons.

Answers please, I do not wish to remain ignorant, I would like to learn from your respectable self, rather than be belittled.

My argument focuses on capitation, not capitulation.:cool:
 
1000,

I already explained that I did not say we need more exchanges, but that we need better choices and better quality exchanges, which might mean more exchanges, or fewer, or the same number. Hamlet incorrectly stated that I implied we need to have more exchanges. You then quoted his incorrect statement. Hamlet, in this thread and elsewhere, has been giving many false descriptions and quotations of my statements. This is harassment. Please don't participate in the harassment by repeating his false information about me. Please discuss the thread topic, instead of discussing me.

I'm not going to respond to the questions for which you have repeatedly requested a response. This is because I don't think your questions are worthwhile, because I am being harassed by Hamlet in this thread, and because I think some of your other postings were insulting.

This thread has degerated to the point that all recent postings consist of silliness, personal attacks, and harassment, without any serious discussion of the topic.

MODERATOR PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD.
