    'Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs on Wednesday resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc. in a stunning move at the technology giant he co-founded in a garage.

    The 55-year-old Apple co-founder and pancreatic cancer survivor has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since Jan. 17.

    Apple said Steve Jobs has been elected chairman and Tim Cook has been elected CEO.'

    I am guessing Apple stocks won't do too well tomorrow.

    But I certainly could be wrong.

    I can see a 10% drop at least. Jobs IS Apple, and everyone knows it.

    Got this one totally wrong, didn't you?

    Apple's stock hardly budged.

    For pointing out a **********'s wrong predictions.

    Truth hurts, doesn't it.

    No...because all you do is put people down that disagree with you in the slightest.

    And you obviously just say things to try and insult/inflame others.

    TROLL

    1. One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument


    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll


    Here is one of the board rules - (4) Avoid personal attacks. This is probably the most subjective of guidelines; however, approach it like this: ATTACK THE MESSAGE, NOT THE MESSENGER.

    How did your post above (#5) not attack the messenger (Travis Bickle)?


    And btw - I am not a **********.

    Yep, I do point out how **********s make wrong economic predictions based on their flawed and subliterate understanding of economics.

    Your point?

    How did your post not attack the messenger?

    Or how about these ones:

    'You are woefully confused about fractional share banking, the topic you seem to be groping toward.'

    http://www.politicalforum.com/4380411-post22.html'


    'Give us one example or shut up.

    You spend too much time watching Fox.'

    http://www.politicalforum.com/search.php?searchid=3001167'


    'Oh dear, it's like Tourettes with memes.

    Still posting from the "Fact Free Zone" I see.'

    http://www.politicalforum.com/4373600-post18.html


    How are these posts 'attacking the message and not the messenger'?


    And that was just from the first few posts of yours since you came back from your banning.

    I pointed out his totally inaccurate prediction. Tough luck. If **********s make totally false economic predictions and I point them out, then maybe you **********s should stop making false predictions based on your misunderstanding of economic principles. But I doubt you will.

    Fair enough....though I am positive your intention was to insult him and not the message.

    And how about the other examples I listed?

    How were they attacking the message and NOT the messenger?
