Hi Jack!
Clearly you mean a lot to a number of members. The success of this thread speaks to that.
Not all members perceive you as you wish to be perceived. Respect is something earned, not demanded. Demanding it is a sure way to never get it.
I read your posts in the Trading Forum. I read all the posts in the Trading Forum. While I am sure there is much to learn from your wisdom, I am not interested in learning your methods. It's nothing personal.... some people like to fish, some like to play golf.
When another member criticizes your methods.... I see nothing wrong with that. But when they attack you personally, that I do not tolerate. The bulk of the deletions were you telling Trend Fader that he is a loser, and stupid, etc. This will not be tolerated in the Trading Forum. I have deleted other posts saying the same about you.
You are more than welcome to post in the Trading Forum, but conduct yourself appropriately. If you want respect.... give respect.
I'm glad you're back because so many members are benefiting from your contributions, and I respect you for that.
I did not make any assessment of trend fader. What I did do was extablish his basis for using the words "claim" and "ridiculous". What you do and what your interests are are your bag. I do not want your respect. Ever. Skip any effort that you might consider along those lines. When I post facts I state their basis and context. the basis of Ternd faders choise of words is clear to me. I spent a long time figuring out why he chooses the words he does. I do not care about him at all he is a "taker" and I am a "giver". when I say he is a taker, that is a fact that I can substantiate three ways: his questioning people to the point where moderators call him "bigboy" and request that he get off it; second, he posts he will not share with others what he does and he turns around and asks people to form coops with him so he can use and learn from their approaches; third, his viewpoints on all matters related to ET (there are 15 topics he returns too. He is a "taker" and because of the level of personal success he anjoys, his standards ofperformance are his basis of what he lays on people. I have collected all his negative critisms of all others in ET that he criticises. His choise of words regarding my posts are abusive and mistaken as well.
I believe you are capable of understanding things over time. what you can learn from me is my viewpoint on fairness. I certainly do not want you to adopt it. On the otherhand, it is time for you to go to work on this matter that I am placing before you. Your signature and admonishing me for such, is misplaced.
Respect, from my viewpoint, is not something I, personally, am dealing with. It is not present here regarding me. It never will be. How respect comes about and is created in a person is aligned with "giving". The takers here cannot deal with giving anything at all. You as a moderator are where you are. I am stuck with that and so are you.
Delete this post. ASAP.
