Quote from Brass:
*Sigh*
My one and only exception, and only because you are a fabricator without peer. This is the reason I got banned:
Surf repeatedly and endlessly kept talking about all aspects of TA being nothing more than "20/20 hindsight" and of no value. I posted the picture as illustrative of his 20/20 hindsight. The moderator deleted it. I posted it again because it was in response to a door surf kept opening. And that got me banned. I was subsequently offered reinstatement under my old user name and I declined. There was no meaningful daily harrassing for months culminating in my getting banned as you trickle-down fabricated out of supply-side whole cloth. There was only tit-for-tat back and forth among a number of participants, myself included. Quit making shit up. And if you don't understand the hypocrisy of criticizing my gym-going while you go as well and post on this health and workout-related thread, then you are beyond reach. Over and out. Dude.
I knew you wouldn't keep your word. Par for the course. And Gabby, going to the gym and being obsessed with the gym are not one and the same. THAT is why I'm not hypocrite. I've been going to the gym on and off for over 10 years. Not to look like Baron. Not to have 6 pack abs. But because I found out years ago that my trading improved remarkably by going. I have no stated goals. I go to release. Not because of vanity. I have a certain build genetically and outside of juicing or dedicating my life to changing it, it's not going to change. I eat healthy for the most part and I do moderate gym work. THAT is why I go.
You on the other hand have been going for over 30 years and admitted a lot of that time was spent over training. There is one primary reason guys over train gabby and even Baron will tell you this. It's insecurity. It's not a crime. We are all insecure on some level. For you, it's obviously your body. Spending all your time over training in the gym and reading everything you can about it tells me you are trying really hard to "fix" something in your life. Again, not a crime, it is who you are. But your gym life and my gym life do NOT have a lot in common. THAT is why I objected to you calling me a hypocrite.
I will admit years back for about a 6 month period on a lark, I decided to hit the gym hard and see what the results were. While I did make positive changes I quickly learned that if I ever let up, I would lose everything I gained. I quickly saw the futility in that and decided rather then trying to find the "perfect" gym routine, I would simply go to stay healthy. Once I saw the effect that cardio had on my trading, I changed my workout to take advantage of the positive effects it had on that.
Now as far as you defending your behavior with Surf, look, you have a really bad habit of playing ET cop. I have seen you do this on several threads. You have this holier then thou disposition about you. You attacked Larry Williams, you attacked Surf, you have attacked Neiderhoffer and I'm sure many others.
Now if you just posted once or twice and got it off your chest, no harm no foul. No you actually ride these people into the ground months on end. It's exactly the same pattern each time. Hell I think you even started digging up court documents on Larry. WTF man. Look, this is a message board. You can say whatever you want, but you clearly have some issues you need to resolve. And rather then dealing with them privately on your own, you are projecting them on ET. OK, over and out Gabby.
