The first part was obviously false, since Bernanke was not Chairman

You are mistaken.

In the second part you commit a false dilemma by insisting there is no other possible cause except for the sinister.

Sinister reason, not cause.

Somehow you are still arguing that the reader should know which meaning you are using for "sinister". Why?

Because words mean things. Just because some of you don't know what words mean doesn't mean the rest of us are no longer allowed to use those words.

Do you really believe that the only "logical" reason to cease publishing M3 is "sinister"? That there is absolutely no other logical choice?

Yes. All the logical reasons are sinister.

If the only logical option is evil, why would this preclude a satanic quality? After all, Satan would have us choose evil over good 10 out of 10 times.

Once again, I can't be held responsible for other people not knowing what words mean, especially when the definition has been provided. Some of you seem to be confusing the word sinister with diabolical. If I had meant diabolical, I would have used that word instead.

Really? Why not demonstrate how I'm mistaken. Source?

Same false dilemma.

Yes, and the current meaning of sinister is "evil", regardless of what the latin root is. Sure, maybe YOU use the archaic definition all the time in general conversation, but the rest of the world doesn't.

Yes. All the logical reasons are sinister.

All the logical reasons are "unlucky"? That's what you meant to say in your post. Pssst...I don't think Bernanke is reading tea leaves.

Some of you seem to be confusing the word sinister with diabolical.

Now who's putting words in someone's mouth. I meant sinister -- i.e. singularly evil. Not in your dictionary?
