**This type of posting is ridiculous, immature and adds no value to this site. These threads should be deleted and the user's ip address banned.**
Many people on this website enjoy talking about the markets just like some people enjoy talking about baseball. There are many messageboards where people discuss many different topics endlessly. I know quite a few people who sit on messageboards all day long typing in long endless threads about sports. However, on these sports message boards, I dont see quite the hooliganism and dont seem to understand why this mindlessness exists on elitetrader.
These unthought out, mindless, drama inflated posts make intelligent discussion difficult. In fact, these bluestreak-like posts equate to cyber terrorism where free speech is being squashed through the use of profane statements and mindless posts.
The person who originally posted this thread should take a moment and reflect on the damage that they are doing to an otherwise great website. If you read the posts and discuss them intelligently, then there is something to be learned and your understanding of the markets will be enhanced. Instead, this poster has chosen cyber-terrorism as their route.
Its ok to throw up a discussion about whatever and support it with facts. I dont hold anything against someone if they want to discuss any topic.
However, throwing up this graffiti discourages free discussion and amounts to terrorism.
So I ask the original poster nicely. This is a website for intelligent discussion of the markets and trading. Its not a soapbox for your own personal agenda. Dont be a cyber terrorist. Instead, be an intelligent participant and join us in discussion.
