Suit yourself, but if you are not willing to read my posts please save yourself the trouble of commenting them.
Suit myself, will I. That's my Yoda impersonation just for you.
I'll make ya a deal: I will stop commenting on your posts if you stop posting. Otherwise let's both just keep on truckin'.

KeyserSoze, please don't get offended, but I think you're wrong about MP, and I think many on this forum let their linguistic sensibilities cloud their understanding.
No offense. I very well could be wrong. i just don't think one shady person calling others shady (which is the thrust of the link) is the compelling evidence Jorge thought it was when he linked to MP.
I've been pulling for Gox through this silliness but Mark could easily be on the run as well. I'm as likely to be wrong as anyone else. The signs are certainly there that Gox is in trouble. Mark doesn't seem shady to me, he seems to have "risen to the level of his incompetence." That doesn't mean he's incompetent altogether, he's just bitten off more than he can chew it seems. This was OK when we had only one exchange.
MP seems shady to me and that is completely different from incompetent. The troubles come from a different place.
The chat on bitcoin assets certainly makes for depressing reading...

I would have absolutely no surprise or remorse if something happened to him. This is people's livelihood he's messed with, for too long, and at this point - he deserves whatever's waiting for him

Hello, I set my clock for 12AM JST, and woke up on the dot, jumped out of bed and loaded gox to see it crashing as expected, but with no news of downtime and none I can read on this thread, could some kind person from a different time zone or early waker or whatever PLZ EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED WITH GOX RE: DOWNTIME.
Anyone? No kind soul will inform me?I'd help you out, but I don't get the question. You mean "site downtime"? Far as I know, gox has been up the entire time.
If it's about the drop, I don't see where's the big surprise... it's not as if there something out of the usual happening since yesterday that didn't start almost 2 weeks ago.
Or maybe I'm really not getting the question?

I stopped reading your posts as closely once I determined you were mired not only in the same old beginner's misunderstandings but also lacked the will to research some basic things before spreading FUD. [...] It's so egregious a flaw in character that it makes me confident you have some other agenda, like the rest of the redonkulous bears here.
Suit yourself, but if you are not willing to read my posts please save yourself the trouble of commenting them.

Hey, look there on the street, no...there, is that a tiny drop of blood I see?

LOL exactly what I've been thinking hahah. Unless of course it is MtGox themselves doing it and they just give themselves the money. It would seem to either be MtGox doing this to help themselves in some way, or someone or some organization that wants Gox or BTC dead. Though if it was an organization that wanted BTC dead, you'd think they'd just put these sell bots on every exchange and not just MtGox .
Are you SURE it is really a bot, and a single one at that? And are you sure it is doing no buying? They can't sell too much for too long, noone has unlimited funds.Not sure about anything haha, all just theories, but it certainly appears to be a single bot with the timing it has. Could be a single bot owned by many people, or multiple bots in sync, no way to know. It could also be selling through its own walls.
Depends if the bot is owned by a "trusted" member or whatever... ahem...

Unless it's the GoxBot. Then it has no fees, and an unlimited account. "All you can sell".

Everybody will agree that the chance of snake eyes at dice is 1/36, for example. While diferent people will assign different probabilities to "a whale will fall from the sky into the Grand Canyon", most will pick a very small number.
This recent BBC article may interest you.'Scientists count whales from space' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26075274
And I didn't even know that whales came from space.

I presume you are a fellow Brit... or maybe a spaceman.
Didn't Star Trek make a film about a whale too? I am detecting a pattern here. Maybe the extraterrestrial Illuminati are whales, not lizards. The evidence is growing.

OK. So we can probably keep you out of the emotional turning point equation! 
Yep!
