There's no bullying of sox here. He wants Alan to stop posting, and Alan doesn't want to stop posting. I'm asking them to both abide by the agreement we made months ago, that Alan would post his number and sox would explain to readers what he thought the number means or doesn't mean.

Now we have an argument about whether "in the future" means one millisecond further in time, or if there is a rule someone imagines that we all should know, that "in the future" is not an indefinite period but instead has a time constraint upon it.

We're arguing about whether a number that FINRA provides that says "these were short sales" means "these were short sales."

This is absolutely absurd. Unless we're talking about legal documents, in which sometimes words DON'T mean what the average person thinks they mean, words mean what they mean.

Why in the world would anyone want to waste dozens of posts on an utterly stupid argument like this? I sure have better things to do with my time.
