I don't understand it either. The difference between dgabriel and I is that he can't handle receiving as good as he gets or better. Heck, he can't even admit he's ever wrong. I'll never know, but my suspicion is that if he trades like he posts, he holds onto losing positions with alarming frequency (but to be fair, who hasn't?).... The sole reason this thread exists is because he had to go on a feeble "I have some authority and you don't" power trip and threatened me with banishment. That's it.

Wild is (probably) a big boy and he is responsible for himself. I cannot take credit for his no longer being a member. I recall he was quite a disruptive presence in the Chatroom and I think Baron witnessed this.

Let's get one thing straight Alfonso: As much as I disagree with dgabriel and think he's a childish wimp with the constitution of tapioca pudding, at least he isn't a spoiled, pinko, pseudo-intellectual, wet-behind-the-ears South American college student who, instead of concentrating on fixing his own country's terribly urgent problemas, feels the need to spend his time insulting another nation. Do the rich-kid Argentinian thing, Alfonso: Wear American clothes, watch American TV & movies, listen to American music, visit the US, go to a few American strip bars, hit on American women, and then go home and bitch about the US.
