Now where were we, oh yep, you lost:

Lance Smith = 1 ten-bazillion
Nomorechess = 0


I have not yet seen the post in which "Nick the liar" purportedly advertizes
his stooping to name-calling. Where is it?




Now make your ten-bazillion shipments, investors would go long on
copper futures all right but only 1/4 Philippine copper, and of course
1/4 British silver. The other half is reserved for a better market.


Ha! Simpleton. I would not make ten-bazillion seperate shipments of one
penny apiece. Oh, no -- the postage would be outrageous. I would instead make
only five-bazillion shipments, placing TWO pennies in each stamped envelope,
thus saving gazillions in postage!


As for going long on silver -- the U.S. mint is not stupid enough to put a
lot of semi-precious metal in their pennies. In fact, they don't put a whole
lot of copper in them, either. Mostly zinc these days.
For the real deal, go long on natural gas! (I am not an investment advisor,
but I play one on TV).











The bottom line is that like I said before, I will not stoop down to
your level and resort to name calling like you did above.--Lance Smith

It's all over the place. He called you and me, "nearly illiterate
troll" for no reason at all. As for you, you have all the reasons to
call him what you call him.

Then he went crying to his "Dear Mr. Houlsby" here in RGCP that I was
trolling him. Subsequently, all hell broke loose for his "Mr. Dear
Houlsby", who made lots of disparaging remarks to me for no other
reason, making it known to all RGCP citizens how a fool acts.

Yep, my uncle John Simpleton, that's what he did, spent lots of
gigazillion postages on separate shipments.bg

Seriously, everybody knows that a penny is made of copper. Nope. In
1983, the US government made the penny out of zinc in order to save
money on the more precious copper!

I could be an investment advisor in real life as I have all the
licenses to be one because I work for a financial company.

I agree, natural gas is the way to go on "futures."

Mr. Bachler,
With all due respect, I doubt that you have understood what Vince
Hart meant.

With all due respect, I probably did.

Mr. Bachler,
If Vince Hart believes that you have understood his meaning, then I
am willing to accept his judgment on the matter.

You pose a very interesting question Nick. Kevin's posts do not seem
to be responsive to my criticism of using Pascal's wager as a
foundation for faith. This might suggest that he really did not
understand what I meant. On the other hand, he did know exactly where
to snip my post in order to remove the part that most clearly
identified one particular flaw in Pascal's wager leaving a statement
of mine without sufficient context, which he then used to push the
discussion in an altogether different direction. Such precise
snipping suggests that he understood my meaning fairly well.

Such snipping is one of Kevin's standard tricks. He frequently
resorts to it when someone refutes one of his arguments. One of its
great virtues (for Kevin) is that it frequently annoys his opponent
into some sort of angry response, which allows Kevin to whine about
being attacked thereby further avoiding the issue.
Vince Hart

Sigh, Vince, if a trick, demonstrate it.

I might if I felt that anyone besides you actually doubted it. But as long
as you are the only one, I don't see why I should waste my time because the
better the job I do in demonstrating it, the more likely it will be that you
will snip it. However, your demand for a demonstration is disingenuous.
I have already noted the judicious snipping you did in this very thread.

Dear Mr. Hart,

I have had some comparably adverse experiences with Kevin Bachler's "tricks".

Generally, your use of the phrase "trick" indicates a lack of
understanding. I could easily imagine the following analogy.

You have a very active imagination.

Indeed, Kevin Bachler's imagination does seem "very active" in making
unwarranted presumptions about what other people cannot understand.

In chess, you are positionally outplayed, but do not realize it. You
launch an attack which meets a tactical refutation. You then feel that
the tactical refutation was nothing more than a trick, indicating that
you misunderstood the positional foundation to begin with.

Actually, quite the opposite is true. I have noted before that my tactical
oversights often result from a pre-existing positional weakness.

Even when "quite the opposite is true", should we expect that fact to be able
to shift Planet Kevin from its customary orbit? :-)
