You have every right (obviously) to feel the way that you do, and every right (I believe) to express it. Maybe it's not what others want to read, but every opinion is worth sharing.
I wasn't going to share this, but you sort of "inspired" me to do so - there is a met on the west coast, he's not on here and not nationally known. He is however; revered by Sierra ski industry as a legendary expert on pattern recognition and forecasting. His name is Howard Sheckter, he is both the premier weather guy in CA as well a real estate agent, ha. At any rate, he feels very strongly that the MJO will remain stuck in 7, and he believes that the trough will remain in the west (and ridging in the east) through at least the middle of January. Of course, his thoughts are just one of many and he certainly could be wrong, but I've been reading this guy's thoughts for years and I'll just say that he's right far more often than he's wrong.
As with most things in life...time will tell.
