What's the deal with these assholes cutting and running? I've now seen Bach and Ajax pull this crap multiple times.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, except in the mind of Bach.

Bach, have you ever taken a class in finance? If not, you're not qualified to ask me questions.

Well this asshole apologizes for not being responsive to your demands. It can be a bit of a schedule challenge, from time to time, managing payrolls of over 1,500 employees and ensuring we are paying taxes, providing non governmental jobs, and trying to create a future for hard working people that our government can't.

Sorry I can't be like your type of asshole here who spend their entire life on message boards creating who knows what for who knows whom and our economy. Perhaps just a small part of the difference between us "doers" and "takers" here.

But then I didn't get a degree, as most here obviously have, from the University of I-Pad. Obviously don't have your credentials and vast experience.

Awesome. Bach has the time to post a butthurt comment, but can't actually be bothered to answer a question like:

Bach,

Why do you believe people here think 'success' is bad? Most of us embrace excellence and have had at one point or another successful lives, careers, and yes, made good money. Please answer the question.

What's worse is that Bach had the time to create the OP, but is just too damn busy being a great capitalist to address any responses in a substantial way. Why bother posting here at all if you're too busy being a captain of industry, or was it robber baron?

Bach can't respond because he's too busy cleaning up a spaghetti sauce spill on aisle 9.

Does Bach work for WalMart, and if so why are people bagging on him for it? Why would working for WalMart be considered embarrassing?

My own comments don't concern Walmart, rather his continued questioning about anyone else's capacity to understand how a business operates while providing no evidence of his own understanding.
