Can we *please* ban this word 'stoozing'

Options
[rant]

It is a Motley Foolism and I deeply hate the Motley Fool.

The correct term is "vengeance".

TMF is a spammer site with a moronically reductive and corporate attitude to money management ("Everybody get a tracker, duh, cuz they're, like, really good") and the posters are all sheep.

Why do they all end their posts "Fool on and on"? Is it thought more hip than just "Fool on"? Why "Fool" anyway? If the site was called "Money and Spam for Retards" (which is should be IMHO), would they all sign off "Retard on and on"?

It is nauseating the way they all love the conditioning.

    I don't care.

    I don't like it and I am stamping my little foot here. And I still hate the Motley Fool. How appropriate its initials are.

    It clearly hasn't occurred to you that there are posters here who also contribute to TMF. Indeed, Martin himself is a member of TMF, so I guess we are to assume that you feel he falls into your description ....

    Your post is deeply offensive. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but if you find TMF so unacceptable to your own standards, why on earth do you go there? Clearly you do .. as you have formed an opinion in it?

    Suggest you ignore TMF and concentrate on posting something less offensive and more constructive ... if, indeed, you have anything in that category to post.

    You are bang out of order mate. Put stoozing into Google and you will find that all roads clearly do NOT point simply to TMF.
    Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac ;)
  • Someone says that they don't like "TMF". It is no big deal. Some peole don't like "Busted" and prefer "McFly". To each his own. Personally "I'm sleeping with the light on."

    Such matters are best discussed not here but in the Money Saver Arms which is Forum 46.
