Buy-and-Hold Goon to Rob: “You Can Make Any Excuse That You Want. Heck, You Could Claim That Little Green Men From Mars Have Zapped the Comments Section to Keep VII From Spreading Beyond Planet Earth. The Logical Conclusion Is That People Have No Interest And/Or Do Not Agree With What You Say.”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

“ The lack of comments show that Get Rich Quick strategies can achieve high levels of popularity before they are exposed as scams, Anonymous.”

You can make any excuse that you want. Heck, you could claim that little green men from Mars have zapped the comments section to keep VII from spreading beyond planet earth.

The logical conclusion is that people have no interest and/or do not agree with what you say.

The same story has played out at every site that I have posted at for 17 years now. There is a significant number that has an interest and there is a significant number that agrees with what I say. But that group is far outnumbered by the Buy-and-Holders and a small percentage of the Buy-and-Holders are 20 times more intense in their opposition to open discussion as the minority is in support of it (and the majority of Buy-and-Holders tolerate the abusiveness of the intense ones, rendering their tactics effective). Those are the realities as of today.

Is there something that I can do for you?

I acknowledge these realities. There is nothing that I can do about them at the moment. I have tried lots of things. Nothing that I have tried has gotten us to where we need to be to make forward progress at this time. So what can I do? I am physically incapable of saying that I believe that Greaney included a valuation adjustment in his study. I would be going to the wrong side of the felony line myself if I did that. So that’s out. So what options do I have? I am waiting. I am writing my book and I am writing my weekly column and I am responding to your comments here and I am waiting. I do not want to wait. I want to move forward. But I have not been able to obtain the help that I need to obtain for us all to move forward. So I am waiting.

It is my strong sense that there is something else that you would like me to do for you. But I am not even able to guess what it might be. If you tell me, I will tell you whether it is possible or not. If you don’t tell me, I will just have to accept that that is the way it is.

I am not able to figure out what it might be that I can do for you that I have not already done.

I wish you well. I always wish you well. Is there something else?
