It’s not about feedback, good friends from the internets. It’s about control and how it pertains to a message. What is the message? You are asking the wrong questions. The correct question is what isn’t the message?
The answer to that is drivel.
Like in all facets of life, this website is riddled with lowly life forms, people unable to see their balls when showering. I am talking about the fat guy, with his hand in his ass, typing on the computer—attempting to address superior life forms. Trading aside, small plebs, this is about life. This website is representative of who I am; therefore it must conform to the highest standards, well deserving of 3 Michelin stars.
Because of this fact, I’ve been forced into mass bannings. It’s quite the spectacle, my moderation file and all. You see, I do not want to do it; but I have no choice. You must understand, once again: it’s not about you. Having said that, do you believe a person, such as myself, likes blogging like the wind every day?
Answer: unfortunately, no.
But then again, do schools have to open every day? Do lawyers need to conduct themselves with the most disdainful moral behavior, west of Afghanistan?
Yes.
It is my burden; therefore, I will carry this load for the benefit of mankind.
iBC is where the internet homeless guy gets jacked for his cup of coins and tossed into oncoming traffic!
So you know, there is a secret to blogging, with respect to gaining popularity. I guarantee you, I could leave iBC today, start a new site under an anonymous name, and be as successful as I am today, with regards to traffic and internet swagger. It would be no different than Babe Ruth hitting homeruns in Mexico, instead of here. Do not even think about asking me what the secret is, for it is none of your concern. Just know and understand, “The Fly” is the BlogFather of this game here. The rest of you are simply limping along, like retards in potato sacks, trying to keep up.

I’m beginning to wonder if banning is begetting banning here.
You may need to hire a fulltime BANMAN.
I already hired one. amazing how many people are still left. I should rename this blog Laos.
Cambodia?
One of the Khmer Rouge’s mottoes was, “To keep you is no benefit. To destroy you is no loss.”
A “top 5” Le Fly post, IMHO!
Perhaps top 2 – I recall one other post from a year or two ago which described yourself murdering people from your perch atop an elephant. Never forgot that imagery.

Is foreclosuregate going to be this years subrime crisis? This thing has legs and the lawyers seem to be all over it.
I wonder how the trading algos on Wall St could be prepared for something like this.
Scary shit
not sure yet.
Anyone paying their mortgage now is a fool. The banks no longer have the right to foreclose, so enjoy the free housing America.
Do you have an honorary ban list? Something we, the lesser humans, could be proud to be on?
You should win the noble peace prize for blogging with such intellect and insightful comments. You can join the ranks of Sharp, Obama and the rest of your role models.
Football is cooler than stocks. I will trade tomorrow.
Love.This.Post.
I think I know your secret.
You are appealing to the all the prolifiic blogger / market dominator wannabes out there who are suffering from intermittent bouts of hero worship withdrawal, every time they spend their unemployment insurance checks at their local Wal-Mart.
There, I said it.
I, on the other hand, simply think you are hilarious, in a non-“prolific blogger / market dominator wannabe” kind of way.
Fly’s secret is that he understands that 90% of people on this blog are masochists, half of which have an affinity for goats.
WRONG.
The secret was explained to me atop the highest point in China. I cannot reveal it.
Were you barefoot and in the lotus position? Just curious.
What IS the highest point in China, BTW?
It’s not Puma Punku.
Actually, I think the highest point in China is 3 feet due north of the peak of Mt Everest.
So Fly’s secret is that he is suffering from oxygen deprivation, frostbite and pulmonary edema?
You know damn well where it is.
Stalin tried to ban me too.. Where is he now? Careful outhere, boy…
Yes you can ban, but can you trade ? Lmao
I don’t trade. I manage money. It’s the difference between some guy in the batting cages and another batting .424 in the majors.
The Fly is Rogers Hornsby? That’s his secret?
nice pick up
Ha. Great line.
I know nothing about baseball… I fire my AK-47 for fun…
usually at Romanian goats.
Nothing wrong with goats.
There is a lot of wisdom in China, much of it repressed because of the government there. I had a Chi Gong teacher once who moved to the U.S. from China, who could heal some medical conditions with his energy. He stopped doing it ,because people would want him to heal them & he would. And then they would go off and not exercise, and eat junk food, & get themselves sick again, so he felt it was a waste of his energy & talents. So he just taught Chi Gong from then on.
Here is a Chinese Chi Gong health secret that I ran into on the web one day by chance.

That was hilarious. i kept thinking that apes also exhibit that same style of “self-massage”.
How many times can the Japanese intervene unsuccessfully before they give up?
Do not mention the words give up and Japanese in the same sentence.
They are never wrong… it is not in them.
They’re still finding people on Iwo Jima – they never give up – that’s too American.
The question is not “how many times”, but rather, how many losses.
Successful intervention against the Yen cannot occur unless it is a concerted effort with other CBs, not just Japan acting unilaterally.
The SNB tried to intervene against their own Swissie to prop up the Euro, and took egregious losses estimated at over $5 billion by some figures.
The problem the Japanese face is that everybody wants a weaker currency right now. Ergo we could be on the verge of a global currency war as some have suggested.
We’re already in it.
Le Fly;
How many people in banned the sin bin now?
Over 1,000
lol. Really? hahahahahahahahah
at first thought, I don’t get how this site’s trolls are so consistently bland and generally void of intelligent contribution if you’re banning in the volumes you brag about. on second thought, is it because you’ve sent all the interesting dissenters packing?
i don’t think so.. but when considering the discussion in the comments at zero hedge or dealbreaker, i’m scratching my head.
The DevilDogs,Ducati’s,JJ’s….were old school hecklers….they had real game…why Mr.Le Fly would even let them blog on the main page on occasion…I mean come on..these new guys are weak.
The message is not drivel. A message may be drivel, but the message is not drivel. Just need to sort the wheat from the chaff. It’s those damn split second trading computers. That was the message from 60 Minutes this eve.
OMG that is fucking hilarious. Retards. Potato sacks. You have Mrs. Woodshedder cracking up.
Fuck
I was so hoping the opposing team was going to yell “Scooter” at that one part in Eastbound and Down tonight. That was pretty much how I visualized your scene went down. That show just keeps getting better.
IMPOSTOR
Tonight in China, Japan is closed, had another rally with miners and energy, they are imposing a tariff that will benefit that sector….Shanghai Futures were up again, but again not limited up….Billet Spot was almost flat with only three ports in China that had a little movement up. The eur/USD hit 1.4000 which took out a possible barrier option, yet with ECB talking about how important that level is…the eur/USD backed off and is lower but above the Friday close….Claude T is speaking later….for the post above…not sure why the Fly does it…haven’t really thought about it….but glad he created IBC…I enjoy his analysis…..even though Chess and I would probably disagree that all lawyers must always conduct ourselves in disdainful moral behavior..maybe a.wild Friday night, lol, but not always,
Silver. Gold, AEM so far above SMA support. Just bubblelicious. Anyway the charts doesn’t matter no more. well until some of the bubbles burst. Gold, Silver, Oil, Bonds, stocks………… WATCH FOR FALLING…….
No bubble in employment. No bubble in housing. No bubble in competent goverment leadership. More like a friking vaccum.
Kid Cudi grew up around the corner from me. I hope that doesn’t get me banned.
retards in potato sacks! lmao……
It is certainly beneficial to lock-up (out) the street thugs. Without some rules, idiots run amuck.
But enforcing rules too strongly may kill the posting of many ideas that could be beneficial. The first rule of brainstorming is: no ridiculous idea will be criticized. If they are then creativity and sharing are severely limited – which of course is the purpose of the whole process. It seems a site full of yesmen may have less value for all. Just sayin.
good post,,,,
There’s nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight:

ATPG about to get its freak on in a short squeeze of epic proportions.
Go me.
No one talking about your HRBN call??? WTF.
Don’t answer the phone if the SEC calls ( not that they would, too busy with pron)
