Abuse amongst traders

I, for one being the subject of Apexs anger and rage rather find his level headed analysis of this thread a farce. This "person" plays both sides of the fence and both sides of the market as it suits his attacks. The only thing that matters his measly p+l. That is the root of the anger and frustration here.

These people that attack ask for specific methodologies and market opinions, so that they can be attacked or in effect stolen.

Why should we provide a methodology for this type of poster? Even when we are right we are wrong. These type of trolls just want to vent and should be ignored or banned from the site in my opinion.
 
Quote from Apex Capital:

This is a very good post.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that come on this site that really don't trade, nor do they have any FACTUAL information to present or discuss. All too often we see threads in the TRADING FORUM that do not share any valuable insight whatsoever, let alone methodology that goes into putting on a trade.

Instead, we get the Rubberbird's of the world that have 516 aliases and use a highly accessible and unaccountable website such as ET to feed their frail ego's and boring lives.

I have suggested to Baron to put some process into effect that severely limits the use of aliases even if it means making ET into a small nominall paysite. This would cut out on the morons that come onto ET to hear themselves talk, tell everyone how great they are, and then wind-up talking to each other with yet another alias in the same exact thread in order to defend their fragile ego.

Unfortunately, Baron does not wish to do this.
And as a result, the Trading Forum continues to suffer, greatly.

my suggestion is to get rid of posters like you who are inclined to name calling.

I think when people get abusive it is a reflection of themselves, I know you already know that, but it is true. Sometimes I can be a real asshole to my wife, then I do a mental check and realize it is about me and my issues usually, not her. People often project their mental states on others without even intending to. Case in point, every started talking to a new person, say at party, only to have them go off on some weird, ugly tagent? I have a couple of times, they need to vent their issues on you to alleviate their stress. Could be the booze too! :p

some times we hurt those we love the most because we believe they will forgive us.

They just sign up again. Until EliteTrader has a better form of user verification, they'll always have this board to scream from.

:(

And, besides which, name calling is only symptomatic and not the biggest problem. I recall some sophisticated members who were very good at placing barbs under other members skins --- creating the tension and the names they were called.

As long as you have arguments without support in an environment without social controls, behaviour will be bad.

Also, the argument about abuse being a reflection of the abuser, and its spin-offs is just so much amateur psychobabble. But thats also a big part of any trading board :)

Keep it together Elite - its a balance. This place still has more good ideas posted than T2W.
