RE: Timid Trolls & Slippery Fish23 May 2024 15:01
GarryGraham - I’ve taken an interest in trolls for many years - as I’ve said before it’s quite an art to be able to undermine confidence using facts and subtlety - there are few who are really capable but a huge number of wannabes who have a grossly inflated idea of their ability.
You appeared somewhat dismissive of JohnBriggs in one of your recent posts - although I have a go at him from time to time his posts are relatively straightforward - he’s lost money here and he sub consciously blames himself for placing over reliance on other over optimistic posters - it’s cathartic for him to post negatively at the moment but I sense he’s gradually getting over it and most people understand his plight and tolerate him, whilst pointing out the error of his ways when necessary.
Interestingly I’m going to credit JohnBriggs with his comments being picked up by the CEO - post Chevron deal I watched Eytan on a Q&A video and he referred to reading the leopard not changing his spots comments - I don’t think any of my posts have ever been acknowledged by CEO so well done there!
You, Garry, aren’t so lovable - the slippery fish Freudian slip suggestion characterised you very well!
You claim to be heavily invested here, with your friends, yet you posted the question about the Chevron completion - the answer was given in the original RNS - Uruguayan Government approval is awaited - sometimes you just have to wait it out. Most normal people understood this, particularly those that are invested - why didn’t you - surely you read the RNS!
I put it to you the question was posited to try and create a sense of unease amongst readers that it’s all taking too long and possibly there’s a problem! I don’t even credit you with original thinking on that line as the other trolls were out in force, sometimes multiple times a day, pre-Chevron, regarding the chances of CEG getting a farm out, particularly after Eytan had not met his own indicated timescale!
I post the above because not everyone has my somewhat unusual psychological interest in trolling and may not immediately see the things that jump out of the page to me in your posts, as an old cynic.
Have a great day Garry!
