So is that it? Either once or 50 times? Did you catch my earlier reference about your speaking in absolutes? (While 50 times is not an absolute, it comes close enough to validate my claim about your black and white comparisons.)

the alternative being speaking in riddles, parables or psychobabble?

50 is simply an example, it could be any number. i guessed you would understand, but rather you choose to prove your mistaken point in an invalid manner.

you really like to engage and fight.

You accuse me of speaking in riddles? Is this how you justify holding on to a trade that you yourself described as a terrible mistake in your journal thread? So, you either continue hold it or succumb to the vig of a thousand cuts, eh? Anything in between those two extremes consists of riddles, parables and psychobabble, eh?

Engage and fight? It may seem that way to some, but the truth is that I have an active BS detector. I hope you understand.

You implied that any view other than your reference to absolutes was tantamount to riddle speak. Read your own post again and see for yourself. And while on the matter of riddle speak, in which you claim not to engage and, by extension, on the matter of the fighting vs BS detecting issue, I present your following posts from your journal thread in abbreviated form for dramatic purposes. The entire post may be viewed from the link so that the reader may verify that I have not quoted you out of context.
