POLL: what is wrong with candletrader

Quote from MondoTrader:

Ok candle, so why the HELL are you on a trading web site? Been kicked out of every decent message board on the internet ?

There aren't any other decent message boards on the net... ET is the only one...

Quote from Magna:

I unequivocally suffered from the same malady, and I suspect at least one or two others on this board did likewise.

... a phenomenon which is especially tough on those who have been successful in all other life pursuits, only to be mauled by the learning curve of trading...

darkhorse,
you of all people being so well written (- no put down - sincerely meant) will know that it is his rather overdone attempt at sardonic irony. What's wrong is he doesn't know when a surfeit becomes counter productive and starts to make the practitioner look a little silly to say the least

Quote from Trane:

At first I thought that Candle had lost his mind, but I am now starting to sense that he may very well be using extreme exageration to make a point...

PEACE,
Commisso

I agree with you Stu (and you Commisso), and irony has it's place- it's the treatment and choice of subject matter that made me angry... do we see Leno and Letterman making jokes about September 11th and poking fun at redneck patriots supporting the troops? Some stuff just isn't funny. The sheer hypocrisy and callousness of it is what pisses me off, and why I chose to say something instead of just using the ignore button.

And I doubt he has much of a point left to make... when a debater abandons reasonable exchange and turns to outright mockery, it's usually the case that they have little left to say in defense of their position.

p.s. no offense brother candle- i just don't like you

Quote from MondoTrader:

Well, they need some solution or else this entire board will be no better than a Yahoo! Board. I don't know if you have been to a Yahoo! board, but they are totally useless, no legit user stays for long and they have a hard time selling ads for them.

irony

truth.

Quote from aphexcoil:

Perhaps Candletrader had a change of heart -- or perhaps his political views are more in depth than what we can conclude from just a few posts in the chit-chat area.

Confyoozus say: true enemy better than false friend

Quote from daniel_m:

keep the open mind. it beats a foolish consistency any day!

Him also say: in quest for open mind, do not embrace empty one

Thank you for your vote of confidence, Brother daniel_m...

no big deal, candle.

i won't necessarily agree with all you say (or even very much of it), and i won't defend to death your right to say it,

but i won't hold it against you for saying it.

depending on which part of the world you're in, your comments would be well received as words of wisdom.

perceptions are all we have..

I must concede that I don't usually agree with you on various issues... but I wholeheartedly agree with this post of yours... it shows a great deal of maturity and is very profound... thank you Brother daniel_m, for words which all of us should take some time out to ponder upon...
