With respect to the Roberto vs. IB catfight:
Anyone here ask themselves WHO CARES about this bullshit???
I don't - I'll go on record here. You two, Roberto and IB, want to have a pissing match, go ahead, enjoy yourselves, fiddle around while Rome's burning (Jim Rome would be a plus).
But Roberto, by participating, you lose respect. IB, same. Both of you lose credibility. Shrink tells Roberto IB called, IB says no - who the fvck is lying??
I assume each of you is over the age of 18, right? That means you are MEN. Get over this bitchiness you two have and settle your differences in court if you must but keep this nonsense private. According to your posts, one of you apparently is lying - really good work.
It's SHIT like this that is causing me to withdraw from offshore, which I'm doing now gradually. I am sick and tired of this absolute pettiness in the face of real problems in the industry - whether it's you two or the Shrink and Peep or the Shrink and Russ or Peep and Sting or the Shrink and Sting or McIrish and Peep or yada yada yada FVCKING yada. It just drones on and on and on and you never get any fvcking place worth going. Everyone has their own little agenda offshore, and you know what? I no longer give a fvcking RAT'S ASS who's right, because it's MY money at stake and I cannot believe ANYONE.
This industry at least in CR is unregulated. This is the root of all the problems and no one important in the industry is going to do SHIT about it because (1) it won't directly benefit THEM and (2) because they are more short-sighted than Mr. Magoo.
But as of today, I no longer care. I know for a fact 2 recommended books at the Rx went down like a whore at a frat party and here these two are squabbling over shit I'd be embarrased to see 2 little kids arguing over.
Unreal.
Personally, I'm shutting down over the next few months and before football is over, I'm history offshore.
There is no reliable source of information offshore, and I refuse to allow my money to be placed at books I cannot rely upon, and which I cannot verify independently are 'safe'. Some books, yes, but they are few and the simple petty aggravation of wondering every day if one of the others is going to do the Blue Marlin Song & Dance ('great guy, bad luck') adds up to the point I no longer wish to participate.
There are a number of good people out there, but there are a lot of not-so-good people that I'm calling my ducats in.
To the good guys - good luck and stay wary.
To the bad guys - go fvck yourselves.
To the lunatics - lithium helps.
Me, once I'm out completely, I'll continue enjoying retirement. And perhaps one day I'll have a Molson with Grantt and tell him that not ALL his ideas were bad.
"I think we never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead--and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead, and they would be honest so much earlier."
