Quote from DonnaV:
ok...but I do think that forex guy is a jerk...you obviously didn't read the post(s) in which he was condescending and abusive (imo) to Michael B and several others who questioned his motives. Riskarb gave as good as he got. I was offended by Risk calling you the C word, and understand his being banned for that but nothing he said to forex guy or ice or most anyone else was really that offensive. My point in keeping the thread alive is that there is very useful posts.... even if riskarb is banned why junk the thread?
You know â you got it all backward and Iâve seen this a thousand times before.
You call me condescending. Where do you get off? And, how do you derive the logic for this conclusion? Have you actually looked at the facts? Because no rational, clear headed individual could ever come to that conclusion. Here are the facts that you seem to miss:
1) I simply started a journal, gave guidance on what I was doing and why I was doing it and explained in detail how what the trade profiles would mean and how I used them. There is no condescension in doing that â this is what any sane human being would do when they want to run a clean, well maintained trade journal.
2) Almost
IMMEDIATELY the guy that you mentioned in your post inserted him with what was
clearly a sidelined personal attack cloaked in innuendo. No honest human being could possibly read what he wrote,
in the context in which he wrote it and come to any other conclusion but that he was one being âcondescendingâ and that he
initiated the crap with his comments.
3) Rather than take my factual and neutral reply that I immediately gave him as an opportunity to correct himself, he instead took that as an opportunity to invade the thread with his own personal weaknesses as a human being by continually demonstrating that his original intentions were no where near admirable with his very first post. He continues and persisted to demonstrate innuendo after innuendo offering not one single clue that he knew anything about what he was attempting to criticize.
4) Clearly, I did not put up with his crap, nor did I put up with anyone else crap who jumped into the journal with the same assumptive and argumentative and offensive demeanor. I simple did not tolerate it â wrote to the Moderator about it and proceeded to continue posting trades.
Now, those are the facts. Ignore them. Toss them out the window. Pretend they donât exist. Attempt to re-write short-term history in hopes they will go away â do whatever you please â say whatever you want. I will not change the facts. I simply started a thread, began discussion the profiles, began discussion the systemâs level or performance and people filled with
online ego could not handle it. It is just as simple as that.
Facts are facts and right is right, no matter who is in the wrong.
