Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
You are broke and divorced. Using your analogy, you have been drinking several cases of beer every day for the last 20+ years.
And all of it is due to abusive behavior of Buy-and-Holders. If Buy-and-Hold were a real thing, there never would have been a single abusive post. If Buy-and-Hold were a real thing, every Buy-and-Holder would welcome challenges to it because responding to the challenges would permit them to sharpen their understanding of it.
What does it say about Buy-and-Hold that I am broke and divorced? It sure doesn’t say anything good.

If VII was a real thing, you wouldn’t be broke and you wouldn’t need to live in the land of make believe.
Fix your own problems.
If Buy-and-Hold was a real thing, there never would have been a single abusive post. You would be able to accept it that there are people in the world who have different views than yours re how stock investing works. You would do your thing and they would do their thing and you would see no reason why you couldn’t be friends.
