I think that my various responses had the right tone. I have been reading his posts for at least a year and a half.

There is NO personal attack contained within my responses... a little colorful language and to suggest that someone is simplifying and misleading is NOT a personal attack, it is an attack on his generally disingenuous presentation and he should know better regarding a variety of his points, that he is full of shit... and that is NOT a personal attack.. Tongue

Or complexifying and misleading, in any event, he's doing it for the lulz.

Fatman3001 - I believe that we largely agree.

From time to time over the past 18 months, I have engaged with Stofli, and sometimes he will stand up fairly vigorously to his various trolling arguments, and then other times, he seems to engage in a passive aggressive bitchism by NOT responding, especially to materially relevant points. Accordingly, sometimes, his oversimplification is to leave out material and relevant facts. At other times, he (Stofli) brings in a bunch of irrelevant arguments and facts to make something more complex with his discussion of the various irrelevancies and asserting tat those various irrelevancies are super important.

So yes, I agree, sometimes we also see complexifying tactics, too, from Stofli.

In either event, his posts seem to be designed in part to incite strong responses from other members because as an alleged professor, he should know a lot better than to engage in such fantasy, disinformation tactics, which causes me to suspect that he is likely financially profiting, in a variety of ways from the amount of time that he is spending on this forum and in other related bitcoin discussions.

It wasn't meant as a correction. I'm sorry if it came out that way.

Professors can be assholes too, believe me. He knows what he's doing.

I've read your posts from before you drank the juice of brevity so If you want to have a go at stolfi you're more than welcome. I know you can handle it.

Hahahahahaha... I have my moments of brevity and lack thereof... Wink

One problematic nature of this supposed "professor status" is that such proclamation is misleading in itself, and serves as an appeal to authority. Therefore, to some extent whether Stolfi is a professor or NOT, it is an unnecessary title - because his arguments should stand in an of themselves, rather than striving to bring credibility to his on line persona through a supposed position of professorship.

It does come up pretty quickly no matter how you play it. Such a title will have an effect on some. Some people tend to seek to authority for guidance and some cultures tend to have great respect for title systems. But if you look at what he's writing it's all a big joke on the world. And please note, he's not a professor of economics. But I'm sure he could get my old OKI Microline 280 up and running again. I hope for his own sake that his colleagues are in on the joke, if not he'll look like a royal twerp when they read all the drivel he's been writing in here.
