More Harm Than Good?

I walked off too and at times have since wondered why I came back.

As for the garbage, there is just no accounting for stupidity (take that both ways, in some ways I think I am stupid for sticking around).

Some folks are intelligent, humble and friendly- a pleasure to chat with and be around.
Others are stupid, small minded and cruel- no common sense and not worth pissing on if they were on fire.

I would suggest doing a pragmatic assessment of your own benefits for being here.
If the camaraderie of a few is worth the garbage of the many, stick around.
If it ain't, walk away.

Let me know if you do decide to 86 the joint though, I just may join you (again).

What he said...

If I had more time I could scan every post, and cull out the quality ones but as is I'm sure I've missed a ton of good stuff but also lots of crap. I've been gone and back and gone again a few times. Do what is right for you and be good! Same thing applies to you Commisso. You been wiggin out lately. A good long break can do a body good.
 
rs7,

stick around, I value your thoughts. Albeit, I do skip some of your posts when I can tell you are not teaching, just bantering. My advice is what a friend once told me: "Sean, you are way too compasionate! Snap out of it!"

that's what i was thinking. By the way, I screwed up the poll I wanted to attach to this thread, so if you want to vote, see "Should I Stay of Should I Go"

ET, is like other things in life. It goes through both bad and good periods. There have been many times that I've wanted to leave, but then I just go away for a while and come back refreshed. By that time, the board has had time to change.

The recent SE threads are another example of this. People like him (or should I say that person) have come and gone. Those that remain are a great source of knowledge and a sense of community.

Ultimately it is up to you whether you stay or not. The only thing I advise is getting a thicker skin quick! (I think Don knows the best purveyers :p ) For me the good has outweighed the bad.

If you call your state's motor vehicle or the clerk of the nearest United States Court and ask especially for jury duty, you can see clashes like these here among the lawyers and get paid $18 a day for your trouble. :)
 
You should stay definitely. Your Successful Trading stuff is the most informative thing I have seen on here. At least it is something I can understand, and it makes sense. Even the responses are informative, like the ones I saw tonight from other guys.
thanks, Marc

Slow it down if you want but please stay.
 
RS7,

It's a lot like letting someone go ahead of you at a 4 way stop and they don't wave to say thanks. Does that upset you? It pisses me off.

But the question is, shouldn't you be satisfied in just doing the right thing? And for the people who do appreciate it, all the better.

That was how I started. Now I am pissed at myself for getting caught up in the insanity. That is why I was soliciting opinions.....maybe I did go too far, and just need to lay low. Hard to do when incited by some of the provocateurs...just gotta let it play out and see where it goes.
Best,
RS7

It isn't a matter of a "thick skin" for me...none of it bothers me. I just really don't want to waste my breath if I am trying to help some people and they don't care. I don't want or need adulation or gratitude. But a little respect would go a long way. If I want to get dissed, I can get that from my family:)

Get back to the boards. I like you alot. In fact, I read all those long and boring comments that you write because they are interesting. You are interesting. rs7, I want you on the SE boards. It's just not the same without you.

Please come back!

I stopped posting to the yahoo message boards for the same reasons so I understand. At least here there is less childish personal name calling and usually some form of logic in the responses. I can say that I have learned a couple of things from this site and received some free entertainment, so for me it has been net positive. If it is net positive for you then stay.
