if you had put $13,000 into a pinkie and watched it turn into $3,000 or less, you might be a bit unhinged as well :) but you got this part right "Wow you are hilarious." and this one "that's repeated stupidity and a general lack of ability to learn from one's mistakes"

You could make your posts even longer and that does not change the basis of your advice you have been giving on a regular basis. You might not be in charge of the shares during a shorting.
