Fitza, old mate. your posts really are becoming more and more ludicrous and fanciful!!!
Here's why:
1. Despite your claim, I have no interest in IOT - never have. So why would I post on it?
2. You say my posts are 'always negative, or sarcastic'. That is just bulldust! At least half my posts on XPE have been positive - when there was REASON to be. Now they are predominantly negative - because there are so many REASONS to be (perhaps read Ecclesiastes to get the drift). As for sarcasm, that's only for the likes of funz and a few others who provoke it through their insults.
3. You allege me 'trying to find out personal info on the poster'. What rubbish - I couldn't care a toss for the 'personal life' of posters, only what they write. Its not my 'fault' that you told the world that you are a social worker!
4. You also accuse me of 'trying to dig up past postings of a particular poster'. Well you don't have to 'try' all that hard as it is all there on the record - and sometimes relevant - like you digging up a past post of mine to suggest that I have an interest in IOT (sic). So its ok for you to 'dig up' but not others?
5. You make ridiculous assumptions, like me being 'such a sad sack, these days'. Well, I'm not at all - actually as happy as larry. There's nothing 'sad' about criticising the management of a company any more than criticising the PM or one of your staff or children or whatever. Its nothing to do with emotions - its just about doing or saying what you believe is right.
And, no I didn't lose my job. I've actually got a FT job and another project at the moment. Doesn't take long to read a few posts and whip up a quick post - just a few minutes in fact. So forget the attempted put-downs and your belief that I have something to 'get over'.
In fact, it seems to me that you are the one with stuff to 'get over' - that you are actually projecting your particular needs and issues and frustrations on to me (psychology101).
Revenge??? Hatred????When did 'healthy criticism' get cast as 'revenge' and 'hatred'?
Oh yes, the dangers of falling in love with a stock - and the associated inability to countenance criticism and the pathological desire to annihilate anyone who dares cast aspersions on the object of their devoted love.
The 'old vintage' is still here mate - but with his eyes wide open. It helps!
And Fitza, don't be scared of research (including past postings) mate - its healthy and will help you get rid of those rose-coloured glasses!
