Being a card carrying member of the New York Elite, Dinosaur Trader’s idea of a feud worthy of the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s, is blowing leaves into your neighbor’s yard.

However, in the comments section of this post, he may have upped the ante. I would strongly advise that he chooses carefully the members of this site that he goes after.

For one, I wouldn’t mess with Prospectus. Lest you forget, he is after all, a rocket scientist with top secret clearance. Although he’s a peaceable guy, he’s not above getting you back. One idea he has thrown out to me is shutting down the power grid in your neighborhood for a few days. As you probably know, he does have access to government spy satellites. I would hate for a pic of you to show up on the net. Possibly one of you getting out of a cold shower in the middle of January while you are turtled up. It would be much like this pic of Danny Bonaduce! That could be quite embarrassing.

While I’m at it, I thought I would warn you. Since you remain my favorite trading blogger, I would hate to see you go after Richard. As you can see from the comments posted here, that he likes to bang traders’ Moms. It must be a power fetish. Whatever it is, I would hate for you and your family to show up to your Mom’s house on her birthday for a surprise. You plan on taking her out for breakfast, only to find Richard strutting around in his boxer/briefs while your Mom cooks him breakfast. Then she explains that she’s a little tired after being up all night. As you cringe, your daughter exclaims “Grandma sure looks happy!” That would truly be a nightmare.

If I were you, I would focus on the lower tier. Eric from Tacoma is only a real estate mogul. The worst thing that could happen, from attacking him, is maybe he gets one of his associates, that owes him a favor, to systematically devalue the appraisals of homes in your neighborhood. Since even a 30% reduction in the value of your home would still leave you with a net worth more than the entire MtM team combined, I doubt that will sting.

Zoomie’s a nice guy, and yes, he’s a retired fighter pilot. But let’s be honest, it was Canada. Their entire Air Force doesn’t have any actual combat experience. Besides, he’s living the good life, and with the exception of his birthday when he indulges, he doesn’t really get into internet fights. You would kind of be wasting your time there.

If I were you, I would stick with the battle with me, and me alone. After all, I’m only a common laborer with a degree from a local community college. If it weren’t for King Richard being a benevolent dictator, I wouldn’t be here. I remain the lightweight of the site, and I would focus your anger and attention on me.

After all, I fired the first shot.
