This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

I think if you read my post again and consider what I wrote by airborneirish

You would understand that the burden of proof is on you and not me. I'm not the one claiming a guy who was a professor of macroeconomics and was hired as the chief economist of HSBC argentina is a moron. Certainly I am not the one saying this man doesn't understand economics. You are. Good luck.

EDIT: I should also note that posters here have a really weird tendancy to see opponents as stupid / moronic / etc. I was pilloried for saying that Trump clearly has some kind of genius given his success on twitter, marketing, etc.

I tend to try and figure out the strengths of opponents / others as well as weakenesses. That "moron" you keep posting about with so much vitriol got elected President and just dressed down the WEF live ... on the internet.

Not for nothing but he has something figured out...
