He is doing his job. There are a lot of users out here who makes a living out of FUD and rumors. A large part of the users here do day-trading, and they need high volatility in the market to make profits. The problem is that nowadays the strategy is not working that well with Bitcoin, as it is the case with altcoins.
I can’t speak for altcoins, but this forum has been incapable of moving the Bitcoin price since 2014. There was a point when the market was small enough to be influenced by what was posted here, but those days are long gone.
Additionally, proudhon has been around long enough to know highs come in December so shame on him for jumping the gun with this thread.
