If you feel that in any way I am misguiding or maltreating someone, by all means let me know - I can take it! However, if I feel that you like many on these boards is a maggot with nothing but self hatred that gets aimed at me, I will simply add you to my growing ignore list - simple and clean.
IMHO, your contribution of your "rules" was in the spirit of this board at its' best. However, it is clear that you have some sort of "thought police" in your character - some of what you say reminds me of the very people that you are trying to "debunk," or one of those preachers on the evangelical channels. In any event, these are two attributes that I care little for.
You seem to have taken my refusal to join the chat room awfully personal. I find no-nonsense brutal honesty, no matter how ugly, a wonderful trait. It was true when I said I hadn't figured you out yet. You don't seem to prattle like a Guru, you haven't tried to drive me away (yet!). Yet you have over 3000 posts to your name as an Elite contributor. That means an awful lot of one liners. But with the above reply, I've now got you sussed. You are part of the "Establishment" of this board. All the other long-term people on this board probably know you, and probably like you because you are polite, courteous and inoffensive. I bet you enjoy the "respect" you have earned here? Just a little bit, right?
You see this board has an unwritten code and pecking order. People are expected to know their place. How many times do you see things like "I see this is only your 4th post so piss off"? It's all over the place. People defending the honour of the "Elite" members. Now, for those newbies who add no value and only spout off, then fair enough. But anyone reading my stuff knows I entered this thread on page 24 with good shit, and can see that every serious question has been answered since then. My posts regarding my method have probably been more helpful to a few people in these past two days, than anything else written on this board.
So, what you seem to object to is not so much my content as my style. Well, whoopee dell fucking do! I ain't here to make friends and be nice! Am I like a preacher televangelist? Think about this: how many of those idiots say to their audience: "I am a moron and make my wife say it out loud everyday!". None of them do. That rules that theory out. Your other theory is that I could be full of self-hatred looking to unload it wherever I can. Maybe, you're correct. Or maybe, I'm actually full of self-confidence and just have a riotous self-deprecating sense of humour? Let each man decide.
What I find objectionable in the above is the political correctness of it. The Establishment implying that the whipper snapper should get in line. Persnally I love people who are totally different, unique and colorful. If we were all the same way, what a shite boring world that would be.
Yes, I have a small tolerance level with the majority of so-called "do-gooders". Half of them are plain evil, and the other half plain boring. If you find me objectionable, then piss off and add me to your ignore list. But at least be a man about it: don't advertise it, just do it! Advertising the threat makes you seem pompous and full of self-importance. Typical Establishment attitude.
You obviously would like people to know that Simtrader might be on Nitro's Ignore list if he doesn't behave himself. Oooooohh, oh no! You obviously enjoy telling everyone that there are also many others also on this list. How pompous is that?
But since you seem confused about where I'm coming from (helpful or a "maggot") let me help you out of your confusion. If I rock your sensibilities so much that you just can't handle me, then piss off and DO PUT ME ON YOUR IGNORE LIST. Most importantly, please advertise again that as many respectful admirers of yours should also do the same. Maybe even a petition to get me kicked off the site. That would be funny.
I don't apologise for having a no-nonsense, say-it-as-it-is attitude on this site. And I clearly don't give a fuck who that attitude offends. Truth is, I enjoy outsider status so I would wear the tag of being banned by an "Elite member" as a badge of honour! Take me as I am or don't take me at all, is my attitude.
Most folk can deal with that. It's just the groupies, gurus and Establishment who can't.
