Damo, where is the thread.... about Job losses??

[Jarod]

Remember the thread from about a month ago where you were argueing that although the trend was heading to less and less jobs being lost, that did not sugest that the trend would continue into the posative catagory?

Do you remember that...?

Funny how the line one would have used to extroplate the numbers, led directly into the posative catagory this past month!

 

[Topspin]

now that's just piling on!!!

 

[Onceler]

I remember a few of those. He's a goalpost mover.

When the report came out on Friday, it wasn't a good one, because it was "half" what they had expected (they expected 184K, and it was 162K).

 

[Damocles]

If you search I posted in a thread about it talking about how I was encouraged by the numbers, but we needed less of them to be government temporary positions in the Census.

Ignore Onceler, he doesn't actually read anything and attempts to "pick apart" an argument based in minutiae rather than what was actually said. I posted what one guy said on the radio, admitted that was where I heard it and then restated after I found it it was less by only 40K jobs not "half", but he pretends that no conversation followed and starts regurgitating stupidity based on his personal bias rather than information in the thread.

I then posted that to get back to even we need about 500K jobs every month for about three years...

Here was what you said Damo:

"Which I would have liked again. However, I doubt it would because it is about half of what they expected. "

There is no "admission" here that some guy on the radio is where you heard this. If I hadn't called you on it - repeatedly - you wouldn't have "admitted" that, or changed your statement. It just would have sat out there as a statement of fact "It is about half of what they expected."

This is how misinformation gets spread. It's kind of your m.o., as well. You put these kinds of comments out there as statement of fact; you don't correct them unless someone call you on it.

How embarassing to now comment that I'm the one who doesn't read anything and tries to "pick things apart." Sorry for not letting your misinformation campaign proceed unfettered....

 

[Topspin]

no you poo pooed the numbers right away misquoting the census even after I corrected you.

You are either lying deliberately about me or cannot comprehend what you read based on reading it through D-Colored glasses.

How am I lying deliberately about you? Here is what you said on the thread about jobs:

""Which I would have liked again. However, I doubt it would because it is about half of what they expected. "

Are you denying that? Would you have us believe that you would have clarified & corrected your statement of fact had you not been repeatedly called on it?

Dude, the thread isn't even 4 down from this one at the moment and I clearly indicate in there where I heard it, and correct later.

What is it with you lately? You've got to be the hugest hacktackular idiot lately, and that's saying something. You've usurped Cypress.

There's nothing wrong with being partisan, but I know you are actually capable of understanding what people said, instead you do this.

 

[Onceler]

I know the thread is on this page, and I know you corrected yourself - AFTER YOU WERE CALLED ON IT REPEATEDLY.

That's the point, Damo. Good lord....

Let's read what I actually said in that thread....

I started with:

It definitely appears as if we may have finally hit bottom, and I like that. However if we gained 600,000 per month for three years we'd barely be back where we started.

This is, apparently, the only post you have the capacity to understand when read through your D-Colored glasses:

Which I would have liked again. However, I doubt it would because it is about half of what they expected.

Here is the SECOND time I admitted to hearing it on the radio and that I needed to look up the numbers:

I'll have to look it up. I know it was lower, but the guy on la radia may have been exaggerating a bit.

And here is where I did:

It was 200K, dude on the radio exaggerated. Much of that is due to the fact that they wanted 100K Census jobs now, but have only managed to hire 48K. It can't be for lack of applicants...

Now quit being so obviously hacktacularly stupid.

 

[Onceler]

I can't believe you're missing the point on this, Damo. You are being deliberately obtuse. It is not saving you from any further embarassment.

Quite the contrary...

 

[Damocles]

Right. Stupid. You used to have some sense of accuracy, nowadays you have only your D-colored Glasses and bias.

As if I was hovering on the thread waiting to post stuff. Seriously dude, I actually have to do other things than correct what the dude on the radio said after I had already told you I'd look it up later.

Sure.

We had this conversation on another thread. You put things out there as a statement of fact, and then we find out later that it's some second-hand source you're not sure of, AFTER the real facts have been presented.

See, the thing to post would be something like "I think I heard that...", or "isn't that half of what they were expecting?" Not "That was half of what they were expecting.

I realize you still don't get this, or do, but are too stubborn to admit to anything...

Again, I post where I get it when people say, "Where'd you get that?"

We're having a conversation, we use questions to get further information.

It is how conversations work. If I acted like you do I'd select one post on a thread and pretend that it was the only thing you said, like you did above, then when called on it I would pretend I meant something else.

You're new "schtick" was tired 7 months ago. I'll continue to point it out as long as you continue to attempt it on my posts. It wasn't even hard, your incapacity to even read a post that disagrees with your immediate assumed bias is apparent, and my recount of what I said accurate.

My God....how can you not get this?

I know, Damo - you post the real "facts" of the statement after you're called on it. But you present it as a STATEMENT OF FACT when you write it down initially. Again, this is how misinformation gets spread.

It's why people write "I think I heard that," or "I heard on the radio that," or "Isn't it true that...?", instead of "this is what it is."

Because you know what? 162,000 isn't half of 184,000. It isn't even close. It is a wild, reckless and careless exaggeration that even suggest such a thing. And you presented it as a statement of fact - something I doubt you would have corrected if not repeatedly being called on it.

Oh, quit it. I'm having a conversation, again, since this is a message board and not some article or something we continue a conversation over a multitude of posts. You asked where I got the information, I admitted I heard it on the radio and that I would look up the numbers later to verify, then I did exactly that.

My recounting of events was accurate, yours wasn't, and only when you knew I would be able to post from the thread and show what I said and you knew it was accurate did you even admit I had stated anything else then pretended to mean something else. Your first post in this thread....

I remember a few of those. He's a goalpost mover.

The irony of the bolded portion is rich, we'll not need to have any enriched cereal today.

I then recounted the conversation we had, accurately as I was able to show later with quotes directly from that conversation.

 

[Onceler]

"My recounting of events was accurate, yours wasn't, and only when you knew I would be able to post from the thread and show what I said and you knew it was accurate did you even admit I had stated anything else then pretended to mean something else. Your first post in this thread...."

Um, no. Damo - my reply was a cut & paste of what you posted in that thread. I knew it was a few posts down; I went into the thread, and cut out what you had posted. That thread supports my argument.

Read through the thread; I had to bring it up twice before you reluctantly admitted it wasn't the fact you had portrayed it as, and said where you heard it.

This is what you do now; it's your new m.o. And you do keep shifting the goalposts based on whatever inaccurate info you can find; Jarod's initial post on this is quite correct. Your predictions simply are not working out.

Again.

1. You said I said one thing.
2. I recounted events accurately.
3. You then tried to cut and paste "evidence" from the thread.
4. I then pounded you with actual quote boxes from the thread showing what I said I had stated was accurate.
5. You pretended you meant something else...

And so forth from there.

You were stupid and tried to out of context somebody who pounded you with the truth and you stubbornly continue acting as if nobody can see the slope of your forehead.

 

[Onceler]

Nah - you're still missing the point. I know you corrected yourself, and knew it when I started posting on this thread. You corrected yourself AFTER you were called on the misinformation, which is the point, and a point you keep ignoring, because you are too stubborn.

I'm done wasting time on this; you'll never concede anything. It is deeply embarassing for you, though.
