John Maynard Keynes
I see Keynes wasn't bound to economy but also was a master of trolling.
If you have something to say puppy, be a man and say it plainly.
I have already said it: That Keynes phrase is a cheap justification for trolling.
And it would be nice if you don't start attacking me personally. Thanks.
May I gently as possible say that you continually set yourself up for attack by attacking other members, using inflammatory language and fonts, and making posts with no intrinsic value other than to toot your own horn or belittle someone else. (Witness the post beginning this conversation) Frankly, I can't think of a bigger troll on this board than yourself. Now, if you are 12 years old, I apologize for chiding you as this behavior is to be expected. However if you are an adult, you need to check your attitude when in the company of your betters. Does that say it clear enough for you puppy?

Just a little reminder. Disagreements are fine, personal attacks are not. Please try to use rational argument rather than name calling as it's very annoying having to monitor and moderate grown men's conversations to make them palatable to all visitors - just imagine yourself having the same conversation sober and in polite company and we should all get along a little better

Do you really need to attack me personally for commenting on what an economist wrote?
I'm curious flavio, why did you feel the need to change the text of your post? And for some reason you felt a need to remove the edit notification after you changed it. I'm not really sure what you think you are accomplishing here, I wouldn't say it's an attempt to cast me in a bad light as it's so feeble of an attempt. Is there some other reason I can't yet discern?
And since John Maynard Keynes is unlikely to be posting on this thread in order to be called a troll, I have to assume your original post is a comment directed at me. So then after jabbing at me, you hide behind the "don't start attacking me personally" phrase. Curious behavior indeed. No disrespect intended, but are you a person of young age? I honestly don't want to pick on a teenager and these actions seem close to what I see in my grandchildren when they misbehave or are trying to be sly.
Lastly, one would note this is a thread devoted to flame wars. Seems rather useless unless we have one.

I edit to be more precise, to correct formating and spelling, and to moderate myself.
Maybe you should use the edit function too and remove the posts where you claim to be "my better", insinuate that i am "12 years old", and calling me "puppy" more than once. Edit them or apologize, if you want to rise to the maturity level you boast.

I cannot do that, that might have been done either by the system or by an administrator. Who is already supervising this unfortunate interchange.

You have to respect other posters even if they are 5 years old. And you are not entitled to any special privileges if you are older.

So which of the above apply in this case, as that was the question. I don't see how any of them fit, maybe I'm missing something.
And no, I don't have a need to edit a single word, I stand by every one of them, nor do I have any inclination to apologize to you for anything I've said. However I am more than willing to accept your apology for calling me a troll, as if you go back and reread the thread it was you who opened the unprovoked attack on me. And I generally don't post misspelled words so I have no reason to edit on that front, might I suggest a spellchecker program would be a wise investment for yourself to avoid those nasty incidents of embarrassing spelling error.
As for the content of my recent postings, rather than an attack on you I see my comments as constructive criticism in order to assist you in posting with less inflammatory rhetoric and fonts, something you have admitted to on other threads. It is my continued hope that this goal is achieved.
