Surf, the ignore button does not stop people from destroying good threads. If I am on a thread, and although I have the jackass on ignore, that person can still post all over the place ruining it. He will derail it to a point that all good conversation ends. You can't argue this fact.

At the end of the day why the hell does this bother you so much? You can still have your Surf alerts...sell shit...even start ridiculous anti TA thread. That will not change. The difference is you won't be able to pollute threads with your bullshit drivel.

You know the outcome of this. Ergo....why you are flipping out. You will end up not being able to participate with your train wreck agenda in the more solid trading threads around here.

What "solid" thread have I ruined? Why were the mods not contacted? Perhaps it's because I added value and the troll vendor types can't face the truth?

I don't consider opposing views pollution even in my threads. I welcome it-- when a real troll hits my thread with personal attacks-- I contact the mod who removes the post unless the attack is warranted then it stays. This system works. Mob rule moderation for every thread starter doesn't make sense and is ripe for abuse.
 
And consider this -- they all claim to be rockstar traders... but they have nothing better to do at 9/ 10/ 11pm on a Saturday night than flame Surf on a troll thread? Real, prosperous traders would be out with the wife or gf at a nice restaurant, or with their buds at a bar or club, or with their kids at the latest Pixar film... Think about it: something doesn't add up.

Then contact the mods or baron himself to delete the post. I have and it works if warranted. Why do you want the power? Other than to prevent other views and advance an agenda in the case of sneaky stealth vendors who will mine this site with impunity as they control the content. Sick sick idea.

You know, just doing some Googling for "David goodboy market surfer" brings back all sorts of fascinating stuff.

Dave, you've had a very interesting career, I'll give you that.
But looking at the connections you've made over the years, and how low you're prepared to go to make money (ie i think you'd sell someone out in a heartbeat), it makes me think ET is the wrong place for you, and question your real reasons for being here.
I'll be giving nothing that you can sell, that's for sure.

I hate this shit. Is there any part of life that isn't corrupted by users and abusers???


Your tone and authoritarian persona represented above leads me to believe you are either a trader author and or vendor. If not military/cop/ teacher type--- tell the truth. Why don't you reveal your real name so it can be determined if your attitude is warranted or if you are really just an angry female.

Be specific when you say I stoop low . Exactly what do you mean by this and specific examples please.

Exactly. Good observation rod. But they get so bent out of shape when marketsurfer points out the flaws they want to banish him from commenting. They want us to believe their success yet they can't even take a challenge to their faith. How telling not to mention sad.

I think there are the old, washed up traders posting here that likely had good careers but currently can't get a handle on profits since HFT etc. then there's the vendors, if course in disguise. Finally, there's the teenagers pretending----

Well marketsurfer was posting at the hours in question last night. Not using the Vertu concierge to get into No. 8?

Baby had me up, and trying to do some damage control. I certainly wouldn't initiate anything at those hours like the trolls did. surf

I don't think I was here, but I was watching a marathon of "Jungle Gold" with the kids. Rod must have been pounding a Nebuchadnezzar.
 
Going on any thread telling people that their strategy doesn't work (without anything to back it up) brings tons of value to that thread.

Really Surf...it does.

Worse is you have this bravado/ego which is beyond annoying.

Again...opposing views are one thing....being a complete loudmouth prick is another.

Not for anything....but you insert yourself into a thread and infect it with this crap. You have done it here. 90% of this thread is you and your bs, and then having people pound the crap out of you about it.

You call it controversy and think it helps....when it's a train wreck which is continuing to destroy your credibility.

This is getting old Surf.....again.

I think I have made my point...along with others. When Baron implements this I'll be posting some good trading related stuff. Until then I'm done trying to reason with you. If the other guys on here want to continue destroying you then I guess you can stay in this thread and have your credibility crushed.

I cannot speak for others, but my wife is a jazz musician with a gig, and I was programming bugs out of my software and trying to get 3 days of code done by the time K200 opens in a few hours. Still working on it and it is looking much better.

Want me to add it up for you Rodney?
