Wow... I think this is about as close as anyone will get to seeing you go against what your natural instinct is!

I honestly have no idea what happened in PM between you too, and luckily, I'm not crazy enough to dig into it. But from all my dealings with LF, I think he is a stand up guy who is trying to make trading work and is making calls the way he sees them. If anything, its you who I have seen twist things around more so.

I even remember the fights you had with Sweet Bobby. I don't remember how that turned out, but he was a decent guy. Yes, I understand you guys were all trying to convince him that he had major holes in his strategy, especially since he was following that failed Karen chick, but wasn't this guy an absolutely stand up guy? Didn't he even have something like 7 foster children? I don't think he deserved name calling, and if he was too stubborn to see deficiencies in his method, its actually better to try and convince him where he is going wrong rather taking the low road.

Just because someone is going down the wrong path with regards to trading doesn't make them a target for ridicule and name calling. Trust me, us guys here trying to make trading work are already on edge after losing money and realizing years wasted with nothing to show for it. If you can't help, don't make it worse. If all you do is pick fights, one day you will piss off the wrong person. Or who knows, maybe you pick fights at ET so you don't pick fights in real life which could be way more dangerous! LOL (even for a tall and fit guy like you)

What accident? I'm not sure I ever remember reading anything about this. But from what I do remember reading, since your dad lost all the money and you had to take over the finances, I can't help but think this would be somewhat traumatic (although I guess this wouldn't be during your childhood). Aren't we supposed to look up to our fathers? If you saw your father fail and had to essentially replace him, isn't this in some way a major letdown?

I remember reading that women who come from abusive relationships tend to keep picking men who are abusive. It seems messed up, but the rationale is that they keep going back to the place where things went downhill so that they can fix it. They of course just keep getting abused and become a victim yet again, as opposed to actually fixing what went wrong, but it almost kind of makes sense. I think that shrink was onto something to be honest. Is fucking with people really a good use of your time? I mean if I had the money you do, I imagine I'd have lots of free time as well, but you gotta admit, spending precious time on messing with strangers online is a very low form of entertainment. So if a smart guy like you submits to this form of entertainment, it must surely be more for than just shits and giggles. This makes me think the shrink was really onto something.

You're telling me to harden up, but I almost wonder if this is what you need to do. I don't mean any disrespect Dest, but it totally makes sense that by picking on people, you are looking for something. You have so much success but pick on people who have very little. Why is this? Sure, many on here are trolling and faking shit, so fuck with them, but a good number of us are trying hard to make trading work and failing. The market of course doesn't give a shit, but it doesn't mean that you as a human being you cannot show some kindness.

@Sweet Bobby won the bet by misrepresenting his friend’s account as his own. See the last page of his journal thread as I am blocked.

Nobody wants to be scammed, especially by a hydrocephalic.
