Hi TRO

One thing I've learned in life is when you try to "defend" the few who are a pain and say things, is you just in flame them. If you just walk away, and let good deeds speak for themselves, then the flamers will be ignored and/or others will defend you.

The problem is you over whelm the board with your "warfare". I am rapidly forming the opinion, that you weren't banned from other board, because your trading and education of traders was hurting peoples pocketbooks as much as the just plain got tired of your "woe is me" I will get banned because you don't like me crap.

There is a decision making tool, of taking a piece of paper, drawing a line on it, and putting both sides of a decision on it, and then outlining the pro's and cons to see which has more weight to it. In your case on one side is the educational benefit, the other side, the paranoia posts. Right now to me the educational benefits out weigh the negatives, and I would say to Mike, this guy is worth having here. But as this nonsense continues, the other side starts to build fast.

At the end, I would say to you, that you have been welcomed here, by the majority. Forget the minority, and leave all the other crap, behind. Otherwise you are making a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hi TRO

You can't control what others do, you can only control what you do.

You continually point out we need to open our eyes to see the simple truth of the markets, and you are right. Consider the same thing for yourself, in this situation.

Simply ignore the negative posters, and don't let them bother you. It ruly is that simple, and it works.

PS. Years ago a book by a fellow, I think his name was Robert Ringer, and the book was "Winning thru Intimidation" Overall not a great read, but in it he had one true pearl of wisdom.

"Reality isn't the way things should be, Reality isn't the way we want things to be, Reality is in fact the way things are." You are in essence saying this about trading. Well the reality is you can never fix the problem here at the source, you can only fix how you react. That is the reality.

I love that smiley

Pete,

There is no "woe is me".

As I mentioned before, the reason I know about BIG MIKE TRADING FORUM is because SOMEONE POSTED LIES, HALF-TRUTHS, MISREPRESENTATIONS AND DISTORTIONS about me and one of my systems and I received a "DRAIN THE BANKS" google alert.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Obviously, I have proven myself to a few people on this board, yet there are still those who are trying to undermine me.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

This is the OFF-Topic thread. This is the right place for this discussion. Having this thread does NOTHING to disrupt those focused on trading. If you are reading this, it is because YOU CHOOSE TO. NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO READ THIS OR ANY OTHER THREAD ON THIS OR ANY OTHER FORUM. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

I do not "overwhelm the board with my warfare". I fight where ever someone else starts the battle. I do not go looking for trouble. I came to BIG MIKE TRADING FORUM to defend myself and post the facts.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Rather than tell me what I should do, perhaps you should tell the others to BACK OFF. That would solve the problem. That would be fixing the problem at the SOURCE. I am NOT the instigator.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

Peter, thanks for taking the time to post your feelings and views on this matter. I appreciate it.

tro - did you ever read the rebuttal to that rat theory by the upper classmen - rats have a keen sense of smell, especially those which have been starved for days - and will follow that cheese scent - to no wit

im not being - just stating the facts
