Question on ban announcements

[weldone]

Good Economics books are very interesting to read.

 

[grecian]

Serious question, UC, will your book make Economics interesting to read?




Taken on a new meaning since last year unfortunately.

Yeah I've watched a lot of porn too...

I haven't read it yet, but based on the AMA he did on reddit, I think it'd be interesting to read if you like historical analysis.

I for one am devastated not to satisfy whatever arbitrary (and yet obviously very authoritative) definition of intelligence that's been contrived here

yeah you are clearly not the intellectual messiah you think you are...let that be a lesson for you!

Yes, well and truly schooled by the scholarly colossus of CW

Heh, if you hate economics then maybe not? But I think economics being boring is a kind of accident of history. The big economic questions are undeniably interesting but it tends to be taught in a very dull way.

...mate, I have 150 people reporting to me and some of them are PhDs and engineers. I have been in a line of work for almost 2 decades where I've had to deal with highly educated people. Yes, some of them make you wonder how they ever got past high school, some others are very obviously sharp but just need a guiding hand and some real world experience, while another subset graduate fully cooked so to speak and ready to hit the ground running. In my job, I have to keep a keen eye on who I am dealing with, as putting the wrong person in an important role could have horrible long lasting consequences...

That's a very long-winded way of agreeing with my statement - "Smartness doesn't come from writing books and completing PhDs."

Ya that's when he came back from the ban and then announced his voluntary departure from the forum.

 

[Flem274*]

[Shady Slim]

A mod to kindly tell me if the above language is ok. I am asking only because I don't see what happens to my reports. If I don't get a response from a mod indicating whether the above language is ok or not, I shall assume it is permissible and many people will be happy to know in that case this will be my last post on cw. @James @Dan @Prince EWS @nightprowler10 @Teja. @Fusion @Magrat Garlick

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

See ya

 

[jimmy101]

It's definitely a defamatory word. Should be added to the filter tbh. Akin to "Jap".

 

[the big bambino]

before you try and moonwalk your way out of an argument you yourself started for no apparent reason, how about you explain why you've dragged @Uppercut and one other poster/mod whose identity i suspect but don't know for sure just to personally attack them for no apparent reason?

You know I don't think he actually identified him as you have in your post.

 

[sledger]

See ya

I hope we don't see him though, ever again
