Yeah, why the fuck are the townies coming over here and ruining the place?
Fucking Socs with their fancy cars and Leif Garrett hair come to this side of the tracks?
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
You're not free to think that. Besides, that's most likely a topic only you and your fellow greasers are interested in.
I'm not sure where we took the turn into The Outsiders, but I think we're onto something here.
As an active participant on both boards, the comparison works although I’ve found I can put on the sports coat and dress pants, shine up my shoes, and be civil on Creep’s bored. Even have had some exchanges with H that were informative.
Of course, different boards require different personas. This isn't a board to be civil, politics isn't civil. And some of the best most informative threads here are the 5 page threads where someone like the Dazzler or Kobe is exposed, repeatedly, for their stupidity. Stupid should hurt.
But that being said, I'll respect Coug's new toney and highbrow board.

This is my fuckup. I posted it on the wrong board, although it gave Race yet another opportunity to mock me.
As soon as my limited technological brain can figure out how to move it, I shall.
Alright, like an imbecile, I poasted in the Tug a thread about not poasting like you're in the Tug. That, right there, is something only I could pull off.
@RaceBannon had some fun at my expense. He hasn't moved.

You are a good contributor on the Finance board. No doubtt about it.
Some men live by the feud, which is the Tug. Some men don't live by the feud. It should be fine to have cordial intersection of finance, economis and the relevant politics.
“In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women wives.”
I like what @Baseman started, and what @creepycoug is building. When @YellowSnow opened his fabulous record shoppe, the unfortunate side effect was it drew most of the “higher level discussion” away from the Tug. This bored to me is the classier, thinking man’s Tug.
Obviously this might not be your speed, and I can see how it might be stifling to some who are used to the unfiltered discourse in that seedy tavern across town, but you’re in a nice joint now...don’t shit all over everything.
I’m really enjoying everything that’s been discussed, and am learning a lot.
Note: I have not checked with the Kremlin on this missive, so read it while you can b4 Stalin stifles my speech.
My hope for the board is that it is an active place for the free exchange of thoughts, ideas and, yes, opinions ... even big opinions fervently held and expressed. General topics that I believe are fair game here include the following:
> All topics finance of course: Trading, markets, and all things that directly and even indirectly affect trading and markets. That can include politics, but at the point that the discussions turn into Tug political debates, Stalin will shut it down, as he has a couple this week. I bravely stand behind Father Stalin on this point.
> Political Economy: Yes, who but us men (and token gal) of means and sophistication should be discussing this heady topic? See above about frolic and detour.
> Academic: A bit of a stretch, but all members of the Finance club are educated fellows, so why not. This one kind of followed me here, but where else you wanna go? The Tug will just say "indocrination" 50 times and that's all you'll get out of it. We care about higher ed here in da club, so it's fair game.
> Luxury items: If you bought a new Porsche, we? want to hear about it. We can even battle for market share from @Swaye 's and @YellowSnow 's hawt watch talk. Let them eat cake if they don't like it.
> Real Estate: We got @pawz . What do they have? Exactly. We own this one.
> General Industry: We have dabbled in this on Oil & Gas and it went well with good discussions. Moar of this would be ... good.
> Career Advice: This comes up now and again. We have some experienced people who take these topics seriously. Good stuff.
Beyond that, if you find yourself saying someone is Hitler or playing 'scratch and find' word games, Stalin will kill it. As for me, the only thing I expect I'll act on if needed is the @Dnc - level of bullying. Those marathon "fuck you" threads where one or two guys are getting absolutely mauled to a bloody stump are tedious and stupid (yes, I've played) and belong in the Tug. You all know that.
Remember, you're in the Finance Club. Like Melania says, be best.

re: RE, I think i could know and contribute a lot more. I guess its the missive the more you know, the more you realize you don't know, but still ... I'm still learning. Fact.
That said, I'm extremely grateful @creepycoug took over this bored and gave it the grease it needed to roll. I had such high hopes when it was the Billionaire's club, but it just wasn't going. I've long wanted a bored like this as there are so many long-term poasters that do have valuable professional insights.
I've long held the average person here has a higher IQ and professional success. I mean, to have this much freetim to poast means you are either in the top of your field which has afforded the freetim, or you live in mom's basement. I'm taking the over.
I look forward the hearing from those who have real insights. It's here. Collectively I think the board can be the higher-upside 'generalist'. It just needed the cuban lube factory.

I go back to @RaceBannon 's (hi @MikeSeaver ) dad's sage advice. Learn something every day. I throw around a lot of Malarkey, so I don't blame anyone for not taking me seriously. But on this one point, you all should: there are some SMART and accomplished people who post on this board. Much of this is evident in their posting and their ability to break things down for the rest of us. But I get PMs (no, really, I do) and the qualifications and professional accomplishments among those in our ranks is astounding, particularly in the main areas of Finance and Economis. Some of them I need to continue to cajole into posting more. We need to get @UW_Doog_Bot back up in here, for one. IDK where the hell he is, but Stalin promised me a few weeks ago he'd be back my now. What? Stalin lies? No way.
As much as I like to play around and sling a little poo, the one thing I don't want to have happen here is for those who are trying to pick up some knowledge and understanding to be gun shy for fear of being blasted into oblivion by a Finance goon squad. Not necessary. We can bring the fight here in the Finance Club when we have to; but we choose to be gentile in our manner, and accommodating of all levels of financial literacy.

This is the kind of historical, glassnost-level sea change that you can only get on the Creepycoug Finance Board!
