Crowin, you left off something on your list: In the past you have owned TNOG at least twice which also means you were buying while bashing. I have saved the messages you posted on the RB board. Do you deny this? If not, do you care to elaborate on your TNOG trading strategies? Are you now bashing in order to accumulate TNOG at a rock-bottom price for flipping purposes or were your previous claims of owning TNOG a bald-faced lie? (Which would confirm your status in the minds of many longs as a liar).

Another intersting comment on bashers who say they're doing it...well, just because:

Neurotic ambition is an attempt to prove and realize exalted attributes. A person lacking in real self-confidence seeks high ranking on a comparative scale in an attempt to achieve pseudo self-esteem. Neurotically ambitious people, believing themselves to be innate geniuses or potentially omnipotent, must produce results that prove this claim. In a terrible irony, the artificial view becomes a tyrant, driving people to mentally reconstruct reality to fit the idealized image of themselves.

The need for achievements to validate the neurotics view of himself leads to misery. The inherent futility of achievements driven by the search for glory eventually burns a person out. The worst element in the search for glory, in terms of damage and human suffering it causes, is the need for vindictive triumph. The need for vindictive triumph may be closely linked to the need for glory and achievements, but, if so, it's chief aim is to put others to shame or defeat them through one's very success: or to attain power over people, to inflict suffering upon them: mostly the humiliating kind.

In other words, some folks get a perverse and sadistic satisfaction out of taunting others. They fit TNOGMel's No. 3 description:

3. You have some kind of mental quirk and don't have the ability to realize that there are more productive ways to spend your time.
