How long do you feel this "public humiliation" should last? It can't simply be "until he's learned his lesson," since he's already acknowledged his mistake, apologized for it multiple times, and acknowledged the folly of the reasoning that led him to create this topic. So, how long do you think it should last? A week? A month? Forever?
Does someone have to be chided for making a mistake by everyone who enters a thread and for the rest of their life on ATS? Or can there come a time when people can acknowledge his (now numerous) mea culpas and self-evaluations and move on (like people keep asking him to do)?
I feel incredulous with respect to the suggestion that rubbing someone’s nose in a mistake they’ve already acknowledged and apologized for is somehow for their own good. Especially given the choice of words. “Public humiliation,” versus, “Public education and self-analysis.”
This is a sincere question. I'm not trying to attack you or offend you. If you really feel people deserve to be “humiliated” when they make mistakes online, that is your right and I won’t try to convince you otherwise. I’m just asking.
Peace.

I will know with COMPLETE FINALITY that this "777-day period"/"U.S. Disaster and global economic collapse" stuff is all over when EITHER one of the following happens:
A...
B) when the unnamed alleged prophet's prophecies for May 5th-7th have failed and my corresponding dream has shown to be false.

Yup, but hopefully it will clear out all the kooks and loons who frequently make outlandish predictions from ATS.
With luck people will think twice and choose their words carefully instead of causing distress with "confirmed" predictions.
Then maybe we can get back to serious issues and it will be a pleasure to participate in discussions rather than it being a chore.
ATS has become a joke.

When I told my brother 80 minutes ago, I broke down and cried like a baby before managing to regain my composure and tell him. I could not believe that I did that.

In my previous thread I promised to give away $500 dollars if my prediction fails. I will follow through..

HOWEVER, I cannot exclude the possibility that highly paid investment bankers at Goldman Sachs' have read my posts and decided it would be a funny joke to throw 60 million dollars at the stock market to manipulate the Dow to reach's it's high. So you people have to decide for yourself based on these odds what chance you want to take, knowing that such a possibility exists.

Except it wont.
Ten years and counting, it's just more frequent now because there is more traffic now. But the same nonsense has been around for a long time, making post after post after post, trying to deride someone for making threads on this crap will accomplish 1 thing only. They will create new ATS names, and start the cycle again.
Believe it if you want, or dont... it's the facts. They WILL NOT go away, or lessen their attempt.

Except in this cas it wasnt God but the Devil that made him make a false prophecy, as he is obviously under demonic control!
