KeymasterTG, you are too kind! Thanks for the awesome compliments.
Duuuude, just reread that article you linked to — that was a pretty funny one. The decline in humor isn’t an issue of licensing, though… I think it’s two things. One is that at some point I recognized that I was starting to be taken seriously as an analyst, and so I eased back on the mockery/silliness throttle a bit to ease that transition. This sounds all sell-out-y now, but it was so brutal how the RE bears were completely ignored back then… I wanted to get the word out, and I didn’t want to undermine it by screwing around too much. (Not to mention that I started running into some of the people I had been making fun of!)
The second reason, more in effect now, is just the circumstance. Back then people were acting so outrageously stupid, but were doing so with this chest-thumping arrogance… they were just teeing up the mockery. Now, many of those same people are foreclosed upon, unemployed, etc… that’s somewhat less funny.
Probably more of an analysis than you were looking for. 🙂

Its great that you can go back and track anyone’s posts. I just went back and checked the first ones I made just over 3 years ago. I was pleasantly surprised to see how consistent my posts have been. My viewpoint and predictions have changed very little if at all in the face of all that has happened.
