Quote from Max E. Pad:
Now that i know it is Don, i dont really think he is a troll. See i always thought that the calls for civility, and claims of being a centrist, combined with the over the top niceness, while he took pot shots at the right all day was just a self righteous act on his part.
Don Bright is very much an "over the top" nice guy, if you read his posts on this site over the years, so that part was not an act.
After seeing that even Don didnt want to be caught in the politics section it makes me wonder whether or not I am doing battle daily with an alternate handle of some of the big traders i have met on this site, who also don't want to talk politics under their original handle.
It would be quite the trip if i was chatting with another trader on a daily basis, at the same time i was throwing him under the bus because he also had an alternate politics nickname, and ended up being some horses brASS.
One thing i will say, is that i have a hell of a lot more respect for Maverick, and Rearden Metal after seeing this, because they are the only two highly profitable traders i have seen who are always willing to express their political opinion on this site, and they have never been worried about changing handles, or being politically correct, what you see is what you get with those 2.
