QuoteOriginally posted by: StrangyI'd love to be sued.Fair warning - continue this strange longing and I will sue you. You can debate me and argue with me for as long as you want but I draw the line when someone says he'd love to be sued. I will give you a chance to prove that and back up your statement(s) in court. I will find out who you are (your identity is only a quick subpoena away) and I will pay as much money as needed to make sure your legal bills start piling up. Make no mistake, I do what I say. So, continue and start making it even worse for yourself. I will just bump up the damages. I am using a pseudonym on this site and you're posting under pseudonyms - we're both hiding behind screenanmes. I'm now going to save all these wonderful claims you have made on these forums.

QuoteOriginally posted by: mikebellQuoteOriginally posted by: brontosaurusQuotePeople familiar with Vega said the firm has struggled in the current interest rate environment, with long-term interest rates failing to rise as quickly as short-term rates, a scenario Alan Greenspan has called a "conundrum."could you elaborate on the difficulties this raises?I'm not familiar with Vega but think about it for a sec... what kind of strategy could they be using?if they can't cope with that, the vega crowd don't seem particularly good

QuoteOriginally posted by: Jaxxi don't see why this misreporting worries you so much bashirf? According to the Internet PR Glossary:troll'To sheepishly and intentionally make false statements, or to intentionally misrepresent oneself, for the sheer pleasure of agitating others and inspiring flames or flame wars.'And if he to make mistake in his reporting we then should go bitch to CNN who reported this story, right? trolls, to my mind, should be treated in the same manner as spammers. [ppauper]: it may or may not be misquoted, but bashirf's just looking for a fightI have an extra toilet paper. That should keep you going for a while.
