I do, I just ignore them. What bothers me is that you take regular posters, who use a single monicker and ban them to their own threads while allowing anonymous guests to do whatever they want.
I leave the real threads for real men with real ideas and play here in the sandbox with Cool Breeze.

That's no excuse. If you claim that you're a "real man," then you
should have the guts to register, or at least use a consistent
non-guest handle. Posting as "guest" is the sign of a coward, not a
"real man."

The last time you complained about this, it was in defense of a highly
anti-Semitic post that I moved out of the news thread into the
author's "own thread." You throw the word "ban" around as if you knew
what it meant. Banning it would mean deleting it or moving it to a
private thread. I moved it to the owner's thread, where it is
completely available publicly, leaving the news thread free for
discussions of actual news.

And anonymous guests do not get to do whatever they want.

Administering a forum like this, with a lot of intelligent,
strong-willed members and lots of "guests" who are sometimes
intelligent, sometimes not, takes a lot of work, and requires setting
reasonable rules and enforcing them.

So I wonder if the guests or others are going to post on how vince, myself, Tom, etc were right about transitory being a lie, vindicating us ... or if they'll just keep posting other things suggesting we are wrong about things even when Powell and all people currently admit that we were right. Proof is a bitch, apparently, and deceivers only cherry pick with their dishonesty.

Ha, CPI is a good marker of your loss of purchasing power, right? LOL!

Thank you John, good to see that you are reasonable in your treatment of all here.

I wonder where all the people went that said we have no idea what we're talking about. Honest people should be singing our praises for somehow being able to accurately predict what was going on, when they formerly made fun of us for ... being right the whole time.

The Fed has been flooding the markets for over 15 years, but the
"generalized mechanism" has been failing.

I've explained this in detail in the following posts:

*** 11-Oct-2021 World View: Explaining hyperinflation
viewtopic.php?p=64969#p64969

*** 14-Jul-2021 World View: Fed and the stock market

*** 19-May-2021 World View: Asking the right question
viewtopic.php?p=61155#p61155
The reality of the economic issues in 2008 is far different than now, and mostly the difference is that there aren't really may now compared to then (yet). The mechanism is showing now, you deny it (which is odd) but I explained it and gave credit to a UE commenter who explained it well, just as i see it (on Tom's topic in mixer).

I don't know what you mean by "real problem." Here are some things
that I consider to be "real problems":

- The US debt is $29 trillion and growing
- The P/E ratio is over 30
- China is preparing for an invasion of Taiwan
- Russia is preparing for an invasion of Ukraine

6.8% inflation is at most a "small to medium problem" by comparison.
I think he's asking you when you will finally admit that inflation is inflation, since the literal definition (we see it right now) you deny as real inflation, somehow.

Just humor me with 1 thing, "Guest"

How old are you, roughly
Gen X

Are you always this obnoxious?
At least you answered. Why is that obnoxious?

It proved my point, by the way.
I don't post in the other threads because those threads should be reserved for serious discussion. Therefore, any "Guest" posts in the other threads are not mine. So I moved this post here to make my comment.

The above is an example of a non-serious post.

It proves nothing, Cool Breeze. Except to prove that you are an obnoxious blowbag.

I finished the above post and looked at the updated thread on "Societal Collapse".

No, I do NOT "know" that. To the contrary, what I "know" is that
you're very evasive about answering questions, while demanding that
others give detailed answers.

In this case, you've given a really silly "generic" (i.e., "evasive")
answer. Let's recall what the question is:

> Why exactly will 2022 be bad? What are your predictions?

This was in response to your claim that 2022 would be "bad." But now
you seem to be flip-flopping and saying that 2022 would merely be
"amusing." Have you changed your mind? Which is it? Will 2022 be
"bad" or "amusing"? And if it's still "bad," then what are the
details - since, as we "all" know, you have no problem making
predictions. Why exactly will 2022 be bad?
I agree with what John is saying here.

Cool Breeze, you continue to prove nothing except that you are an obnoxious blowbag full of hot air.
