I challenged someone to a trading contest and even offered to fund their trading account. I haven't been bothered too much since then so your idea does work.

I admit, this is a bit of a surprise for me since I do trade those methods and have experienced their efficacy.
Upon contemplation, I understand why it would be so, however with the mentality in this thread, there is only one conclusion possible and as such is perfect.
Perhaps I'm wrong, I dunno, there is a lot of past context that is probably missing. I'm in the last innings of working through Jack's final work which has my current focus which at it's basis is more collaborative than competitive. Perhaps in the future, it might be entertaining to take up the gauntlet, but atm the energy divergence would not benefit me. If such a case were to arrive, my stipulation would be to donate the resulting profits (on both sides) to a common charity.
To each their own, Jack's work resonates with me and has brought me tremendous insight and value, it's just not for everybody and that's ok. Everyone at some point, have to do their own DD to their own satisfaction.
Yes, the trolls will interpret my statement as a cop-out, cool, believe what you want.
Yep, no proof here and best one puts me on ignore for with no response from me implies I have done the same to you.
Not doing that is just agitating to all concerned. Trolls like agitation, they thrive on it and like crabs in a bucket is all that they will know. One might have very valid points, however content at times takes a backseat to the manner of expression. If that's confusing to you, just observe your interactions with the opposite sex (or lack thereof). If you still can't see it, then most likely you lack empathy, gaslight and are not aware that you do.
In any case, my requirement for engaging in online dialogue is civil discourse. It just has more class than rough and tumble down in the mud.
This site could raise the bar or devolve into the lowest common denominator. It matters not, another site would arise to fill the need that this one chooses not to.
In closing, I'm deeply appreciative and grateful for this site. It was by my own DD combined with the generous sharing of knowledge contained within that has improved my performance in spades.
We all have to choice to make stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
Cheers !
