Sorry, I neglected to mention that your comment is indeed on the Weiss blog, along with Mr. Weiss's rejoinder, and again not relegated to a "moron" section. So your comment on that point is not.... oh dear, how shall I say this.... true.

Thank you again and, above all, thank you for not engaging in abrasive name-calling!

-----------------------------------

And yet more from C&S:

Why are you so angry? I did not engage in name calling. You did. I merely pointed out that your comment was incorrect. Mr. Weiss did include one of your comments. It is not correct that "all [your] comments were deleted."

It seems to me that you should admit that Weiss has been very open, via his interchange with Mr. Cummins.

Goodness, Mr. O'Brien, you seem very sensitive for a person who is constantly insulting people. Also you are rather quick to push the "delete" button, on pretty much any pretext, for a person who is ostensibly concerned about "censorship."

----------------------------------

And even more Cupandsaucer:

Well, I am pleased that you are not censoring! Only placing posts you don't agree with in a "moron" section.

Huh.

Here is Weiss's view of your latest back-peddling on the FTDs.

"UPDATE (2/7): "O'Brien's" "smoking gun" met with such widespread derision that he went back, took another look and said that oh, shucks, maybe the figures don't show masssive "naked short-selling" after all.

"But even after eating crow like this, "O'Brien" was all bluster and baloney, as he thundered behind his phony name: "The SEC and the DTCC are allowing fraud on a massive scale - the only question now is how massive."

"The Baloney Brigade marches on"

Indeed it does. You have the floor, sir. Let us see your usual cordial, rational temperate anonymous response -- and of course,never insulting!

After all, you stand by everything you say, or your name isn't Bob O'Brien!

From CupandSaucer Feb. 8:

So how did your position in Overstock do yesterday, Xavier (Bobo Note: not the name used by C&S)?

By the way, I was meaning to ask: How does Mrs. Tigerdrawers (Not name used by C&S) feel about your wonderful crackpot website?

----------------------------

From Cupandsaucer Feb. 8:

Yeah, I see that you are saying that AWS is "clogging" (translation: making sense). OK, I'll respect your desire to anonymously make stupid comments so I'll call you by your real phony name, Bob O'Baloney.

Bob, in your little rant in the other nonreplyable uncensored PDF file, you said that your nemesis, the Evil Weiss, did not understand T+3.

But I see that he was quoting directly from an exchange in your blog. He was simply repeating what you said in response to one of the rare rational people who wandered in to, as you put it, "clog." Wouldn't you say that what we have here is you not understand T+3? Or anything else for that matter? (Really, Did I misread that? I didn't catch where Gary caught that as being in error, or even recall seeing an original post that matches that description. So I'll just assume you are wrong, or lying, OK? Works for me...)

Let's have your usual calm, reasoned response. I'll start it for you, "Cupandsaucer, you miserable turd...."

------------------------------

(Bobo Latest Note: Cupandsaucer is getting increasingly strident here, name calling, misconstruing, etc. It is debatable how much more of this has entertainment value, however, given that I do enjoy watching one so willing to parade his disturbances about so generously for our amusement, I can’t help but rethink the entire Doggerel concept to include the ability to reply to the cloggers, thus creating a special “waste of time and energy” section of the forums. In that spirit, here is the new Doggerel section of the forums, where these guys can hurl feces and pull out their hair to their heart’s content. The only thing that will be censored is plugs of other blogs, and use of names and addresses. If anyone wants to engage them there, have at it.)

(New Note: Witness the increasingly ugly and threatening personal references. An inveterate spewer of doggerel, CupandSaucer defines the lowest elements of the breed – protests of censorship, insults, clogging, and not personal attacks and veiled family member threats. And people wonder why I keep my identity anonymous…)

(Bobo’s Note: My hunch is that Cupandsaucer is either Weiss, or is employed by him/associated with him – nobody but he seems at all interested in what the Weissman has to say about anything, which seems to drive both nutty. All I’ve seen out of Weiss is sophomoric pap about anonymity, and name calling – he has yet to trip over a fact or a figure in his railings. Whatever. Nobody cares. Is it worse to be wrong, or irrelevant? Seems like Weiss is 2 for 2.

As to C&S, note what you won’t find in his posts – analysis of the numbers, insights into what they mean, discussion of the clearing and settlement system. Nothing even slightly on-point, unless you consider cutting and pasting the addled aphorisms of his idol meritorious – I simply find them banal.

Cupandsaucer was whining about being censored before, when he was hurling insults, calling me a coward, and touting Weiss’ blog, which in my mind is about as forgettable a chunk of pap as I’ve ever seen. Now that he has his own section of the blog (Doggerel), pretty much to himself, he seems irritated at that as well. My suggestion is that if he wishes to be a member of the commentators here, he needs to stop the personal assaults and blog pumping, and focus on the discussion points. He shows no willingness to do so, and so, he is single handedly defining the sort of stuff that makes it into Doggerel – not, as he would have you believe, dissenting opinion, but rather book touting, insulting clogging, name calling.
