Trolls and flaming assholes cannot, by definition, ever be satisfied by anything the target of their wrath posts. In fact, they completely ignore the positive reviews from clients that these bullies so hypocritically proclaim they are trying to protect from getting cheated and ripped-off. Like it never even happened. I must be a fraud because I refuse to post my personal financial information in a public forum, or with an anonymous party who happens to email me. What an absolutely asinine premise. BTW, who the fuck does that? Answer that one.
Never mind that the majority of my clients are positive about my service. Control freaks and bullies posting anonymously behind keyboards do what they do in order to regulate their own anxieties and self-doubts.
This all falls under the risk you run when you try to market your business on an internet forum. I think there are ample ways to shut up the naysayers, if you provide some recent/updated proof that you can trade profitably. There will always be a few that can never be satisfied, but I bet 85% of those questioning you would be satisfied if you just attempted to provide further proof similar to Gary Smith's simple screenshot in the "verified" thread.
Either way, you're the one that has to live with the consequences, but you also have to keep in mind that you're the one trying to earn a living by trying to attract clients on ET.
