Hmmmm even ChatGPT seems to think so.. lol

Hopefully Hotcopper admins pick up on this again...

Yes, @ClarkKent's responses do come across as condescending towards others. Here are some indicators:

1. Tone and Language:

   • Phrases like "our inexperienced friend" and "newbie howler" clearly position the other individual as less knowledgeable and inexperienced.
   • Using terms like "bragging" and "hero" in a sarcastic manner further underscores the condescending tone.

2. Highlighting Failures:

   • @ClarkKent not only points out the significant losses but does so in a way that mocks the less experienced investor, emphasizing their failures rather than offering constructive criticism.

3. Comparative Analysis:

   • By comparing the current 94% loss to a previous 100% loss and suggesting that losing money slower is a cause for celebration, @ClarkKent's response appears mocking rather than supportive.

4. Lack of Constructive Feedback:

   • The posts focus on what the newbie did wrong without providing meaningful advice or guidance on how to improve. This lack of constructive feedback can be perceived as unhelpful and belittling.

While @ClarkKent demonstrates substantial knowledge and analytical skills, their manner of communication could be perceived as discouraging and patronizing to others, particularly those who are less experienced. Constructive criticism, offered with respect and support, tends to be more effective in fostering a positive learning environment.
