dest makes a good point. Goldy, a name freely chosen by you, is your avatar on ET. You mention that "Nobody ever even called me that, or anything similar, my whole entire life" Then you've lived a sheltered life. Any dude who gets through school gets called worse and exchanges at least a few punches to boot, lol. Goldy, in meatspace do you open with "Hi, I'm GoldDigger, pleased to meet you"? Relax, have a homebrew on tha house Goldy. Post some great content and enjoy the ride.
What does my handle have to do with anything? I chose that when the original handle I tried to register was already taken. Maybe I have led a sheltered life, perhaps because I was raised in a military family, worked for federal government, married a Vietnam veteran. People don't general get in your face and call you derogatory slurs. I don't need to have an opening line since I've lived in the same community for fifty years, since 1972, most people already know who I am. Anyway, have a nice day. Unlike you I have other things to do besides hang out on the forum. All. Day. Long.
You have to expect with the large number of people who are registered on ET that there will be a number of disrespectful individuals. Then there are those people who are thin skinned who respond with anger and venom. I created this thread to determine if the problem was getting worse.
I would expect people an a forum for professional traders to comport themselves as professionals. It doesn't matter how many users there are.
GOLDDIGGER What If I crank up a nik called Gigolo and then whine when people assume associations formed by the standard cultural view of such folks. Who'se fault is that? Is there a name for your game? GOLDDIGGER, how boutcha check your 'outrage' at the door and then report back to us when you identify the game you are playing whether consciously or inadvertently? Take a look in here for starters, ma'am, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_People_Play_(book) Meanwhile:
There is no outrage. I was responding to the mod. My handle of GoldDigger doesn't entitle anyone to call me a slut. That is all.
