Angry Traders on ET Forums

...Does it come with the territory as most traders are arrogant blowhards?

Only if they also happen to be Hard Right Republicans. Trust me on this one.

I humbly thank you. Its my first venture into ET.
I had a myspace account and deleted it after noticing how my generation is full of...well, degenerates. (blanket statement, i know)

I had a facebook account and noticed that all the rich prep kids i had the misfortune of going to school with are dooshbag silver spooners that like taking credit for what their great parents had done.

I deleted it.

Im gonna keep this ET account open since i have met a lot of useful, kind and generous people in less than 24 hours!

the internet is amazing! Thanks again for your positive inputs!

You should realize that it has nothing to do with ET.

Many anonymous forum posters tend to be abusive, self-righteous, flamers, argumentative, nay-sayers, etc. Something they won't say to another face to face, they will do anonymously.

Some forums seem more serene, but that is often due to the moderation policy - they:

-- may check ID each poster (causes milder behavior and less spamming - ET does not - wish it would),
-- may read every post before allowing publication - threatening to remove posts or user IDFs. (that would be hard on ET, with so many users)

Some things could be better here, but many other investment forums are almost dead. I prefer the quantity, but wish they cracked down more on the inappropriate behaviours.
