Oh no somebody doesnt understand econ?!?!?!?

Some guy on the internet is spreading misinformation and confusing the issue to a small minority of people on a poker msg board.

Dude, go watch anything on CNN or the majority of stuff that gets taught at universities. To blow up at Boro for one minor point (the 'conspiracy' of the non-publication of the M3) makes you look absolutely insane.

You've really done yourself a disservice. You are one of the non austrians whos posts I enjoy reading because I think you have a lot of good things to say. But now whenever I'm going to read one of your posts I'm going to be thinking to myself "oh its THAT guy".

You could have just made a civil post asking boro to clarify his position on M3. Of course that would have been much less entertaining for the rest of us.

it's his methodology he uses. i'm not the only one that feels this way since i've gotten PM's in agreement. i'm just the only one that lost it as a result of a history i have with borodog.

here is some more history where i jibed at him passive aggressively and he flew off the handle.

i blew up at boro to blow up at boro. the M3 issue is just the outlet. i'm glad that it at least was entertaining to you. it made me feel good as the outlet i mentioned.

in terms of the disservice to myself, the content of my posts haven't changed and i doubt there will be future episodes like this and there certainly haven't been any with anybody else. he just really got under my skin. my choice to let it happen and go at him like that.

so you can think "oh that guy" and thats fine. the overall content of my posts though will certainly not change.

i'm about to make a civil one that i hope we can discuss and get something out of (A follow up to the inflation/bernanke/paul thread)

take care,
Barron
