I a) mostly only defend myself (when necessary) and b) usually don't get involved with defending others on a personal level (=they can do a better job of defending and speaking for themselves), but I'll say this about T53 --
For more than the last year, I have frequently spoken with T53 privately. He has invested more than I have in WCVC, although I bought in earlier than he did. He and I have different ways of looking at WCVC (and all other stocks he has invested in), but he is always "truthful," by which I mean that I've never seen him deliberately lie.
He mostly analyses trading patterns using charts -- based on his personal experience with them -- and makes his predictions based on them.
To draw a parallel: weather reports are predictions based on analyzing historical behavior of how weather patterns behave. They may be 100% spot on, especially when given for 'day of' or the 'day before'; but they can also be wrong (i.e., the weather can be better or worse than predicted). When a weather report is wrong, it isn't a "lie." It was simply a 'best guess' that didn't account for every physical factor that made the actual weather what it was on the predicted day.
T53s methods are similar. He wins some, and loses some, but he believes that in the long run his analysis is worth 'betting on.' His postings mean that he is confident in his opinions; but so are weather reporters.
I see people post that T53 is a pumper and a liar. My personal interaction with T53 tells me that those who call him a liar should not be trusted since they obviously have not made any attempt to know the man in person. No one is perfect, but people who call others liars must meet a high bar of credibility themselves.
