Quote from ARogueTrader:
You have a problem, and it has nothing to do with Max.
You could have placed him on ignore both physically and mentally a long time ago.
You remind me of a battered wife who keeps going back for more.
Deal with your own issues.
You are entitled to your opinion. But "ignore" doesn't do a thing when he is quoted by others.
Take a look at the thread "Democraps Class warriors " or whatever it was called. Look what Max wrote. Look what I wrote. Take it in context.
I know you have made this same observation before ART.
Now slow down and really look at who said what. I tried to ignore Max. But you know what? Why the fuck should he be tolerated? Why should I let it slide when he just tries to hijack a thread?
He did his usual "RS dance" in the Atkins diet thread. I did not respond at all. He's been doing it non stop for 2 years.
I was out of the country for almost a month last fall. I did not make a single post while I was gone. you would think he would find something else to talk about in my absence. But no....it isn't like he is just some troll who tries to get my goat.....as far as he knew, I was away and not looking at what he wrote. And he was right about that. But when I got back, I saw that in my absence he was even MORE abusive towards me. Which means he isn't just a psycho, but a cowardly psycho as well.
So you know what? I think I do all of ET a service when I point out that he is a manipulative little bitch.
If you don't mind him making every attempt he can to disrupt threads...to undermine the flow of any conversation, debate, or argument I happen to be involved in, (or if not me, whoever else is on his little "hit list"), that's your business. Your opinion. But I believe that the little troll needs to be called on his shit on occasion.
How many times did you bang heads with Don B.? And he NEVER made personal attacks on you.
Max makes NO contributions here. No matter what you may think of Don B., at least he does talk about trading. At least he does TRY and make contributions to the forum.
Show me a single instance of Max making ANY contribution. If he isn't calling me a liar, he' s calling someone else something unpleasant.
Is he the only person here that intentionally tries to stir up dissension? Hardly. But he IS the only person here that does NOTHING ELSE.
You want to play psychologist with me? Tell me I am like a battered wife that goes back for more? Fine, you are entitled to your opinion. But do yourself a favor. Keep your opinions based on up to date information.
I admit to letting Max get under my skin. I admit to having handled him poorly in the past. But this latest little episode? No ART...I handled it just as I should have.
Again, look at the "Democraps" thread. Then come back and tell me I was in any way wrong.
I said he was a nasty little bitch. I stand by that. I thought and said he should not be permitted to ruin threads, and I stand by that.
You of all people should appreciate the fact that a thread can have a flow to it. Why should this flabby piece of detritus be tolerated when his only purpose in life is to disrupt whatever flow is left on ET. (and it's less and less as the days go by).
How many of the real traders still post to the message boards? Hardly any. Why? Because there are just too many negative assholes constantly trying to disrupt any and all threads.
Most of these trolls show up, do their thing, and disappear. Max has been non-stop for years. If you think putting him ignore helps, then do it.
In my case, ignore has no effect. And when you have your own personal stalker, then you will be better qualified to analyze me.
Until then, take my word for it. If I can make Max feel small, as he must....because he IS small, then I will. I feel "duty bound" to try and get him to take stock in himself. He isn't stupid. He's probably one of the brightest people on ET. So despite his insanity, I have to hope that a bell will go off in his head at some point, and he will seek help. And that should go along nicely with him ceasing his constant attempts to poison this board.
Peace,
RS
