They're anonymous internet commentators on a gossip blog. What did you expect, the Bloomsbury Group?

For the record, I find Dealbreaker comments to be, on the balance, far funnier than most blog comments. If you want a nutshell of the differences between finance, law, and accounting, compare the comment threads at Dealbreaker, Above the Law, and Going Concern. If you want high-brow intellectual musings about finance, go to epicureandealmaker.blogspot.com

isnt there a difference between what you SAY in public and what you WISH you could say in public given the chance?

i too find it surprising that a 50 yro MD would go on DealBreaker and comment and joke about banging prostitutes in Carl Icahn's kitchen. shouldnt older adults have lost the urge to make such childish remarks?

I feel like all the commentators on DB are in the 18-25yro range. im sure if i turned 30 i would not even have the urge to make such comments.

 

Dealbreaker comments are consistently hilarious. Maturity is about dealing with responsibilities, having a sense of your morals, and having balls to take the blame when you fuck up. It's not about being serious and uptight.

Think George Carlin or Richard Pryor weren't mature just because they loved making dick jokes? Think an emo 13 year old who thinks his life is the worst OMGGGG and has no sense of humor is mature?
