… Dixit my competitor, on his crappy e-mailing list. (He was speaking about one of my MIT CCI blog posts.)
I’ve just seen that, today, browsing the Web. What is hilarious, actually, is that he wrote that entry on November 6, 2006, once it was clear that I would not publicize his conference. “He thought he had nothing to lose and then declared war”, as someone has told me. What the readers of his crappy e-mailing list don’t know is that, just ten days ago, that personage and another had implored me to give airtime to their conference.
What this guy does not disclose to the readership of his crappy e-mailing list, also, is that he is paid money by a firm that I have criticized over the summer.
Note To My Readers: As I am dedicated to providing a wide coverage about prediction markets, since 2004, you can imagine that it’s not without mixed emotions that I would censor any thing of importance or urgency. Here’s what the American Economic Association’s directory wrote about my prediction market vortal:
This site offers a variety of material for those interested in “prediction markets” (markets where participants trade instruments whose price reflects the probability of future events). While somewhat opinionated, many will likely find it useful for its breadth of coverage.
Why Did Chris Masse Censor? Well, the anecdote above provides a clue. It’s all about ethics. You should understand that I have a big readership, and that, when people read something on my website or blog, they think that Chris Masse is endorsing that stuff. I should thus be careful. I made my decision based on many findings, and I’m in peace with my soul, and that’s all what matters to me.
Anyway.
Let’s move on to more interesting topics.
