Should dest have mod-privileges on his own journal?

    What's worse, saluting Dest or saluting the rampant trolls?

  2. That’s the thing. In a modern democratic world, you shouldn’t have to salute anyone.

    And, another thing. People who ask questions, explanations, elaborations etc shouldn’t be demonized by calling them as trolls.

    If he was really serious about sharing his knowledge, he would have just answered questions and continued. His attitude invites more people to act like trolls and the way he handles it is by doubling down. Reminds you of someone famous, doesn’t it?

    Can I ask why no asym flies now?? thx

    A 132C/321P fly is a guts (synthetic)ratio-condor. The problem is that you’re generally not skewed to the body if an index position. I had been trading OTM flies with spot but that is simply a synthetic 121 fly with asym-strikes (unimodal D so cannot flip d and skew). It’s a better fit as a pure spec on price as it resembles a risk-reversal on day 1.


    He answered my question with no problems.

    Dest achieved his objective in this thread imo.
    Strangely he deliberately trolled his own thread to make a point, "I'd like to educate in this thread but without strict moderation watch it turn into custard".
    First post after Dest's was @Overnight telling the world he wouldn't participate, 2nd post someone (SLM) asking for $5k owed, and downhill from there it went.

  5. I didn’t read the whole thread. Maybe you kissed butt? No offense. That’s how these dictator types are, they reward the “right” behavior.

  7. LOL I asked a trading question and he replied with a trading answer. I have not seen anyone do that in the past 43 pages.

    I have been in this forum for years now. Mostly just reading about options until 2020, when I had to temporary shut my business like many others.
    I am an option learner and options is the main reason why I hang out here.
    I am one of those customer who even used some of the (option) services sponsored.

    Destriero never offended me, and I can ask some stupid option questions sometime.

    What I never did was provoking, teasing, assuming, asking for proof and doubting the user who is presenting some new, advanced knowledge.

    Lots of you trolls, and I say "you" because most of your post have a clear agenda, are completely off topic and only there to tease dest.
    Then you have other trolls, who although blocked the OP, are allowed to post in his journal and pollute his thread.

    @SimpleMeLike unless you post proof of PM's, you become the bitch here. Or the troll. You are clueless regarding options and just came here to pollute and make claims.
    Show the PM's or keep the troll status.

  10. My “agenda” is simply seeking the truth, opposing bullshitting. He never presents any advanced knowledge. Just creates enough curiosity and you get ready to do anything for some crumbs. I am simply calling out the guy. He was going after thedawn about some silly infinite gamma comment. How childish is that?
