Yes, their entire identity is wrapped up in defending that sleazy old hag...Meanwhile "Shillary" must be auditioning for the post that will be left by Josh Earnest...Unfortunately for him they don't hire "tatted up" meth-heads.
 
lol Tom.

Whats happening here with Thunderdog/Brass/Gabfly/FF is that he, like most of North America, senses a turning point has been reached with regard to Clinton corruption and scandals.

America is thoroughly sick of the institutionalized corruption practiced by these two hucksters and it just seems unlikely that such crooks could assume control of the country. I would personally vote for Pol Pot or Stalin before I would accept leadership from a Clinton.

If she wins, I predict trouble in the form of militias.

This is an open letter to all Elite Trader chat room users as well as the Web site administrators.

I have been visiting the chat room almost daily for several months and have enjoyed the exchange and camaraderie with the other participants. I also learned a bit more about trading than I knew before. For all this I am grateful.

However, with increasing regularity, I have been verbally assaulted and abused by one participant, OPTIONAL 777. It is entirely possible that this trader is as good as he says he is, however, that does not preclude him from being a thug. I came to the Elite Trader chat room for exchange and conversation and, for the most part, this is what I have found. However, OPTIONAL 777’s vulgar, abusive and unrelenting diatribes toward me have become unbearable, and so, as I had mentioned to you all, I will not be returning.

I am just a struggling €œtrader trying to get by, who is not yet profitable. I suspect there are many others out there like me. Yet, I continue in the best way I know how with the full knowledge that trading is a difficult and lonely occupation that relatively few succeed at, and that I may not become one of those relative few. Therefore, for my part, I have always sought to keep the chat light, supportive and fun. Along the way, I would pick up the occasional tidbit of useful information. I think this is how a chat room should be. That is why I have never criticized anyone for the simple reason of tearing him down. Trading is hard enough without people kicking you in the teeth when you are at your most vulnerable. Further, I have never insulted anyone except in self-defense, notably against OPTIONAL 777 and, more recently, his new toady, Brosh.

Perhaps for these reasons, several of you had mentioned that you did not have a “problem” with me, and I suppose I should take some comfort in that. But I do not.

I would like to think that, if someone were being abusive towards a new chat room member for the simple reason of demeaning him, kicking him while he was down, that I would step up and say something. And yet, I am not a new member; you people have known me for several months. And while I am grateful that most of you did not join in with OPTIONAL 777 against me, I am disappointed that, for a long while now, you just looked the other way, effectively condoning his conduct. I acknowledge that none of you owes me anything, but I had hoped for better. Unless I am mistaken, only Kymar stepped up yesterday (May 27) and told OPTIONAL 777 to behave himself. It did no good, but I appreciate the effort. I’d like to think that I would have done the same.

And so, I leave you all with my best wishes. I also leave you with OPTIONAL 777. I hope his occasionally useful insights are worth his reprehensible, demeaning conduct that sometimes includes casual references to incest and bestiality. Personally, I think that he and those like him pollute what would otherwise be an excellent medium of communication and support. Without an oversight mechanism either on the part of Elite Trader’s administrators or simply by way of the members’ good conscience, the room may one day degenerate into a free-for-all. If that happens, I hope for your sake that OPTIONAL 777 does not have you in his crosshairs.

Good luck, and good trading.

Regards,

Thunderdog
