Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

Quote from marketsurfer:

Everything is relative regarding money. Being born in the ghetto and scrounging food like a family of raccoons, I'm sure my definition of serious isn't compatible with the trust fund BSD's I'm conversing with.

I agree about the trading books but would put the number worthless at 90%. I reviewed financial books for Wiley for years so I have 100's. I think I speak as an authority on this matter. surf

80/90, it is likely higher - but we're haggling over details.
After a while, I got (slightly) better at not buying the bad ones.

Keeping Livermore, Market Wizards I and II, stridsman and kaufmann, I could happily throw the rest away.

There are a few others I'd keep for their trader interviews, but not many.

Ok, I found value in those 2 but like everything else, value is relative. surf

It is.
Its a good job too - without that, there'd be no market.

These are my thoughts articulated by a very skilled writer. I don't know if the trolls have influenced Baron's original wisdom or potentially even hijacked his account. Only a scaredy cat, thin skin, losing trader would think differently. surf

Baron never explained how he would go about implementing the spirit of this idea.

For instance, he could still go the route I suggested (which is a popular choice on other thriving forums):

Quote from Jack_Larkin:

"""Ignored users are prevented from posting in threads you start""" Is how other forums (who are thriving) have implemented this idea.

That isn't giving anyone full moderation rights over their own thread.

All it does is prevent another poster who the thread starter already has set on ignore from participating in a given thread. That's all.

Think about that, the thread starter already ignores the person, so they aren't interested in conversing with them anyway, and it's the thread starter's thread after all. It is a very soft (we aren't talking about moderation level deleting) and fair way to cut down on a lot of the ego pissing matches that contribute nothing.

You seem to keep trying to turn this into a specific outcome yet Baron has not even commented on how the specifics would be setup yet.

We've had a few people like the "ignored users can't post in your threads" idea and a few who back general moderation over user's own threads... Baron never which method would be put in place.

Oh, and BTW, the method I described is a feature within vBulletin, or at least easily added to vB without much work. So don't bet it will take more than 6 months to implement on technical complexity alone.

Isn't the world nicer when we can agree to disagree?

Another 100 post wonder who believes it has the ability to influence the direction of this site. Maybe after it shows some dedication to content creation and site support someone may allow it an opinion. Until then dont waste your time commenting on this thread. Try back in 5 years.

Someone with 100 posts is still a member of this community.

Do you feel entitled to "more say" than others just because you go post happy most of the time?

People with just a few posts create some awesome content here.

But then there's the individual with ~6800 posts *cough* *cough* who continues to post frequently, but such posts often don't contribute any value to this site what-so-ever.

Why should one be 'worth more' by post count alone?

--

Of course, none of this even matters. I think your argument about post counts and influence on the forum is just misdirection. You don't have to answer to what everyone's said so far if you change the subject.

 

[R. Raskolnikov]

I don't know why his count only shows 6800 posts, a quick search shows his post history is 800 pages long at 25 posts per page. He's pushing 20k

Try having an original thought OR are you going to plagerize the thoughts of your hero up in Connecticut?

Face it, David. You have a third rate intellect. You went to a substandard university and you will NEVER be the Ivy League namedropping, BSD that you so pathetically want to be.

Quit the charade and grow the f*** up.
