We can ban any words, but we can not ban fear.....and grid. I noticed many years ago on different trading forums that there are quite a number of people who take self depreciating niks like " help me", or " helpless " or "worthless"... It just a reflection of how people feel... They feel small, abandoned, powerless....
Interestingly that on most trading shops (when there were shops like 20 years ago ) traders required that there will be no lights...dark...they wanted to be invisible, they wanted to disappear in the darkness...so the market will not notice them will not hurt them
