To me, it shows shows how true your pecking order is as posted on the 1st page of this thread. Talk about groupies and gurus etc. It's enough to make you vomit!
Naturally of course I agree 200% with your last observation! But I'd have to say that you didn't really get too much abuse - mild skepticism at most!! Wait til you've been told that you've been "seriously arsed", that you are "filth", that Allah says you're "evil"! A journal is obviously more interesting that the shit written about Gecko or philosophy, but if you really want to fuck them up ...post the details of your method (I'd agree with dbphoenix on that point). This way you can claim the high moral ground in fucking with them. There's nothing more powerful when answering a critic than saying "my method is here, where's yours you bastard?".Quote from Jim Radid:
want a good laugh?
I started a journal, and my 1st post was a great trade on the S&P index:
http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=18651
and so far, mostly all the responses have been negative! People crying "nothing will be learned here", "you didn't really make money", and "you're doing this for ego" are the responses. Even Magna chimed in with a non-productive response.

They'd rather get 2000 posts from Gekko, and then find out he had a $2000 trading account, and then write 50 pages of help to him. Lame goddam wankers!

Why on earth would I want to shut down THIS thread?
Jim, you gotta understand what's going on. Magna isn't censoring you because you went off topic and had a rant and rave, Hell, if that were true, I'd have been shut down ages ago! In any case, my guess is that 50% of posts on this site are 'off-topic'. He's censoring you because he can. What I mean is, you first have to build credibility with an audience outside of the moderators. Any censorship then becomes harder if they know 15 people will be up their ass for doing it. Magna would probably love to censor me but part of him respects what I've done with posting my method, and he knows that he'd have several people up his ass. So he decides to tolerate me instead. Even when I abuse the fuck out of him. But he censors you simply because he doesn't think there will be any negative repercussions of doing so. If you want Magna to leave you alone then you've got to post the details of your method and get stuck into some dialogue about it. It's my point about getting your license first. I guarantee that if my Post number 3 on this thread were put up as Post number 1, it would have been axed. Which is why I put up Post 1 and 2 first.Quote from Jim Radid:
from magna:
"For those of you not familiar with Jim Radid (aka Jesse J.) I would like to clarify things. Not one post in this journal that was a discussion of a trade or a strategy or a methodology has been altered or removed. Not a single one. The only thing that has been deleted is Jim's rants 'n raves, personal attacks, etc. And they will continue to be removed. If Jim would like to use that as justification for shutting down the journal, then that's his choice."
That's his latest contribution to my journal.
