A HERETIC I AM

60. This is another of your well known characteristics.

You just can't take criticism of any kind. You reject it out of hand, and instead of taking it in the spirit in which it is intended (to hopefully make you a better writer, or at least more careful) you insist I am bullying you.

The last time you and I had an exchange was at least a couple years ago, when you answered a question about the term "Risk Free Rate" regarding investing. When I asked you to tell me what that was, you couldn't do it and when I asked you to explain a Treasury rate quote that you had brought up, instead of simply saying "I am not familiar with that" or "I am not sure how that works" you insisted you had the answer and were completely and utterly wrong! When I pointed that out to you, you essentially threw your hands up in the air, deleted all your posts in the sub-thread and buggered off, saying I was "brutal".


Nadin, I appreciate the fact that you actually go out and collect news. I appreciate the fact that you are passionate about what you do, but for you to insist you are being bullied simply because you are getting some gentle criticism, speaks volumes.
