I'll let wordsmiths like yourself here sort that one out I'm not a very good wordsmith because obviously "ambiguous " was not the right word ...... "disjointed" or "rambling" perhaps? Also it would appear that I haven't conveyed properly what I meant to say....... so I...

an excellent rebuttal is ..... Which bit of my somewhat ambiguous post were you rebutting? :)Perhaps all of it? :wink: ChocoKitty likes the "soft" stuff and karma has said When I get a chance, maybe I'll post more "soft" stuff on the FIRE board, if that's the right place for it ...

........all this 'soft" stuff....does that mean a big group hug? .......somehow most of the members of NFB seem too conservative for that :) I tend to think that the FIRE board is more about Financial Independence than soft stuff. Should there be something like a "Life and Retirement"...

ES
Do you have A Grand Plan for NFB or are you just letting it evolve :?:

50 boards? 1000 users?

.........viscerally disagreeing........ :shock::shock::shock: ES I always try to accommodate everyone as best I can. But if I'm not aware of a members concerns I can't do anything about them. Could we have a built-in online dictionary, please :?:.......so I can understand what's going on :wink:

A perfect description.

.......a few more hocus quotes....... I have never put up a bickering or time-draining post in my entire posting career, hocus Sun Aug 17 It is not the posters who know what they are talking about that waste the community's time when they post. It is those who don't bother to do their homework, yet ...

I got this from webster.com Atatloss I like the definition - something I've always wanted to mention but chickened out - thought it might be too sensitive :roll: Why would hocus choose hocus as a name - or is that bringing up semantics again?

What is your point in endless explainations of idiotic quotes from hocus? Because hocus is, very regrettably, dangerous to the very people he wants to help i.e. aspiring early retirees. His adamant adherence to his misrepresentations/misinterpretations/misconceptions is likely to be very misleading...

ES Hang in there a week or so, we are working on a few ideas Looks good - I know you do this stuff yourself so hadn't expected that you could do anything - as Ben says Whatever ES wants is fine by me. Haven't been here that long so nice to know I'd be missed - one of my (many) weaknesses is a propen...

I wrote my original post in a hurry - so a bit more explanation. ES If you would like your own board to be delusional on I'd be glad to give you one Could I call it "The Rational SWR Research Group"? (only joking - I'd consider it very impertinent of me to think I had the knowledge and exp...

I have just looked at the latest infantile, irrational, delusional nonsense going on at h***'s SWR Research board. It irritates the hell out of me. Obviously I could just read the other boards but it irritates me considerably to know it's tolerated. Much better not to be irritated - I won't remove m...

I'm beginning to sound irascible again - not a good thing to be

.......so if the stuff I disagree with stays elsewhere I will try and refrain from further comment on this topic

Sorry, jwr, but I don't accept the "I am not a numbers guy" excuse. If someone has the temerity to spout forth upon the numbers aspect of SWR studies then he should at least read the studies and web sites first. I'm not a numbers guy either but at least I have enough common-courtesy to rea...

sorry, I missed one - again unbelievable :wink: There may be some who do not possess a clear understanding of exactly how a SWR is defined in the studies ......... If there are genuine points of confusion, I am happy to help out. hocus Sat July 26

A blunt but honest response. I retire next year. Very belatedly 9 months ago I started looking for retirement income strategies. I read all the studies, all the books, all the web sites I could find. I looked for an internet board where I could think aloud, where my mistakes would be kindly correcte...

I apologise in advance for belabouring the point, but I just can't resist. Unbelievable :wink: I am the most informed poster in the FIRE community on the subject of SWRs. This is fact hocus Sun Jul 27 Do you see any word games in my posts? Do you see any personal attacks? hocus Sun Jul 27

Now all I have to do is remember all that in case I debate with hocus again - which is highly improbable, I hope :)

petey I shall get around to reading intercst's report. I shall then make up my mind on how much of it I accept. My opinion on it has been biased back & forth and I will read it & decide for myself. I'm far from being a 100% defender of the REHP report (I have reservations about both this and...

ataloss I have admitted to not speaking or understanding hocusian discourse. Probably a deficiency on my part. I didn't understand him to be recommending reading the studies. Then there is this astonishing indication that hocus has no idea of the methodology of the historical studies that he has bee...
