Hey auspm it must be kind of flattering that certain members go out of their way to cut you down consistently. Basically I believe that it means that certain elements of what you talk about really stir people up because it causes people to look at themselves and they don't like what they see.
I know. I've mentioned it before here, it's called cognitive dissonance.
Reno talks about a corrupt system on the one hand and then laments anyone who doesn't adopt it an idiot. He lived under the delusion of 'I am the most moral person I know' and then when asked the hard questions will warn you that if you don't do the same, your family will starve.
When confronted with those who did it without debt, he assumes they must be part of a magical 1% because he doesn't want to think about the alternative concept - that it's actually more common than he thinks and he simply rode the easy path.
Like I've said before, I see straight through him and his endless peddling of debt. Debtors have used the same propaganda that he lives and breathes to scare the masses into forming up the bottom layer of the Australian property ponzi.
I don't fear his ideas and I am not fooled by his taunts. I know the agenda and I simply put it on the table.
When I joined this forum, I did so with an aim to educate like minded people and share my knowledge and experience.
I am clearly not stupid. I'm not a coward. I'm not reckless. I'm not going to play with daddy's shotgun just to 'have a go'.
I wanted to help provide an environment where people could come and not be constantly peddled with the propaganda of the debt machine and for a while, that's what this place really was all about.
But as I've lamented here several times before, after silver made a move above $20 and became a spotlight target for commodity traders, it brought in a different mindset and attitude to the forum.
People like Renovator.
I've had to take breaks from here because his garbage trolling is left (largely) unchecked, but I think the integrity of the forum deserves someone to stand up to that mindset and contest it openly, if for no other reason, than to ensure that people have more than just the debtors' point of view.
Strangely, this in a round about way relates to the thread topic on inflation. Time and again I've been able to present independently sourced data and on every single occasion, the debtor mindset has dismissed it out right and replaced it with personal, rhetorical evidence - telling you all the while that they have the 'credibility' to back it.
Ultimately, it's up to those who read this forum to make up their own minds on the matter. But whilst I'm still left to have the freedom of speech here to oppose the propaganda, I'll continue to question and provide information in the hope that people can make a really informed decision on their economic and financial outlook, instead of blindly adopting the debtor model through greed or fear.
You have to remember that Reno has placed his chips on the property table.
He needs people like YOU to continue on the property ponzi bandwagon to ensure he gets his return.
The choice is yours as to whether you participate or not. People just need to be aware of the consequences for doing so (intentional or not).
'Inflation' is something all market players from the banks, government down to the debtor lie about because it serves their bottom line.
: another baby boomer you crossed swords with about the same things but im different arent I ? you cant push me to the edge like you did him . I have enough self control to pass you off as the financial retard you actually are. Its no secret here you are middle aged & have no other investment other than a small amount of pms that you could fit in your trouser pocket & you shout down anyone that has done ok through sheer jealousy nothing else its as clear as the nose on my face you desire what others have but you cant achieve it through your own stupidity/morality (you choose which one )
