The Jailhouse

[barge]

Matt--

Howard Golden consistently attempts, and is frequently successful in quite literally Hijacking the WAVE Board for protracted periods of time with his pedantic, nonsensical posts.

Because Howard Golden simply cannot help himself, he has chosen to offer this "wonderful" jail board fresh transparent evidence of his compulsion to spew out absurd and insane posts with a straight face!

HOWARD GOLDEN'S PRIMARY THEME IN THE FEW DAYS HE'S BEEN ON THE JAIL BOARD HAS BEEN TO FOCUS ON SNACKMAN'S OBLIGATION TO MEET HIM FOR LUNCH SIMPLY BECAUSE SNACKMAN IS MODERATOR OF THE WAVE BOARD. THIS BRILLIANT ARGUMENT REACHES A CRESCENDO OF PURE IDIOCY WITH HIS CONCLUSION THAT IF SNACKMAN DOES NOT MEET HIM FOR LUNCH HE SHOULD BE REMOVED AS MODERATOR!

Have I just engaged in hyperbole to make a point? Unfortunately, I have not. I'll let Howard Golden speak for himself.

Here is the inimitable Howard Golden posting in lawyerly fashion the following piece of insanity in the form of an ultimatum:

HOWARD GOLDEN WRITES:

"While I respect your individual decision(Snackman), I cannot accept your decision as compatible with your position as moderator of the WAVX board. Therefore, unless you reconsider, I call upon you to relinquish your role as moderator of the WAVX board. If you do not do so voluntarily, I will request that Matt remove you.

The above is of course patently absurd; completely illogical; and, indeed, sadly pathetic. Now imagine transposing this type of nutty logic and deranged thinking to a serious investment board like WAVX on a 24/7 basis? Just imagine all of the disruptive opportunities he has at his disposal to drive serious members of that community completely NUTS!

Simply put: Howard Golden's in typical poker face fashion attempts to hijack the WAVX board by disagreeing with nearly all serious DD through the incessant introduction of pedantic and hairsplitting nonsense into the discussion. He patiently waits for someone to BITE into his nonsense, at which point he will make every effort to Hijack the board by "innocently" pushing the discussion into a protracted inane debate where he will demand links for every little point, inflame insignificant issues into major ones, indulge in blathering filibusters that have no end, and so on. ]Howard Golden's only reason for being on the WAVX board is to throw a MONKEY WRENCH into most of the tech discussion and thereby effectively HIJACKING THE BOARD.

And please don't tell me to simply put him on IGNORE as the solution. Let me repeat: Howard Golden's HIJACKS the board, thereby paralyzing the WHOLE BOARD into a sort of gridlock cacophony of meaningless chatter.

The record will show that I've pretty much ignored him most of the year, BUT I'M NOT A GODDAMN MACHINE, MATT! I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH OF HIS INSANE, INANE BULLSHIT WHILE TWIDDLING MY THUMBS AND PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE!!!

Now Howard Golden's wants us to believe he is going to have lunch with HhH in Pasadena at the Mi Place Restaurant. How many Hijackings of the WAVX board will this be worth to Howard Golden once he is released from jail? How many hijackings will take place where the focus will center on whether Howard Golden(who is HhH) did in fact have lunch with HhH? Or discussions about WHY didn't Howard Golden request a third person at that lunch? And so on.........

Snackman has been nothing short of brilliant as the maestro moderator of the WAVX board! But brilliant or not, he can't moderate the board 24/7 days a week. And if Golden discusses the bogus lunch in the context of WAVE, then what are Snackman's options. Delete the posts, and risk your ire? Simply put, Snackman's has an IMPOSSIBLE (and Thankless!!!) TASK on his hands!!!

Let me state emphatically, that I have no personal animus against Howard Golden. I'm just sick and tired of having Howard Golden embedded inside the WAVE board 24/7 spouting wacky fictional nonsense and slipping monkey wrenches into much of the serious DD that occurs on that board. He does his malignant mischief with a straight face and a gentlemanly countenance. And this transparent facade remarkably enough appears to fool quite a few folks, into believing that he is simply a misunderstood fellow just trying to present contrary opinions to the bullish DD.

So, I'm in jail, because I "lost it" with Howard Golden! Yes, I should have ignored his idiocies. I should not have wasted my time and the board's time in trying to pin down that parasite-weasel-anarchist. On the other hand, Matt, I sure which you had the balls to do the RIGHT THING, and permanently revoke his privileges on Ihub!
