Don is doing his job promoting his firm; 777 is busting his balls for fun. Makes for an interesting exchange ...
of course he is a disgruntled ex-bright trader. Last Summer he must have had about 50 posts on a "I hate Bright" thread. It is boring and tired, and although I have no reason to care who 777 is, I do find it interesting that he is so reluctant to share who he is. And even if he did, he points out he could be "lying." That is all I need to know about 777.
If everyone was anonymous, behind a curtain with only their speech to draw upon, we would have to think before coming to a conclusion, wouldn't we? In a debate, like the Presidential debate, people made decisions based on "appearances" rather than substance of discourse. And, Bubba proved that appearances can be very deceiving. I am interested in substance, substance that stands the test of time, fact and logic, not on who the presenter happens to be. Our society is a sucker for a good presenter or actor....just look at Ronald Reagan.....
Interesting watching people choose sides. Thinkers focus on ideas, concepts, truth, principles and fact. Dolts who can't think for themselves rally around personalities.
just call it as I see it. I am "thinking" for myself....just as you would want. Conclusion....you are a whining little girl that has nothing better to do but scream into the wind and think she is doing the world some kind of justice, righting all that is wrong in this rotten world. YOU ARE A JOKE!
You are entitled to your opinion and whatever process you use to reach it. Shoot first, ask questions second, right?
All i am saying is that one, if they are truthful and confident, should not be afraid to lift the cloak from their face when confronting someone. Your points on the public's focus on personality rather than truth are well taken, and are certainly true, to a point. But In this room, and on this site I would hope we are not the average idiot off the street, but rather a civil and hardworking group of traders However, if your (777) main purpose is to generate controversy and ellicit reactions from Don and the like, I would suggest that your time could potentially be better spent else where. Either way, I am for honesty in all arenas
