Ehorn You have a unusual and creative way of expressing yourself on this point. Clearly there are psychotic individuals on the site. I think Internet sites are bound to attract some small percentage of participants with emotional issues. At this point I am not an optimist. I think those of us who want to communicate and have a continuing education about trading and ideas related to trading will need to respond in a concerted way to shut down this craziness. It seems to me that if WE don't act together to do this, no one else will...
The disgrace and shame of Steve46: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1192801&highlight=niece+sister#post1192801
Just haven some fun, though sometimes music can reach into the soul (music sooths the savage beast type of thing) Chin up Steve, have a quick look around... People are benefitting, despite the mosquitos buzzing about. I am a perfect example of what can and has been accomplished through this site. I have no trading experience to speak of and recently found some great insight and tutalage within these pages and, with some well advised effort, I am on my way. I really hear you on this one... While I am more of a listener (receiver) at this point, I have witnessed, on many occations, how this does stifle the momentum and effectiveness of exchanges, but given the current architecture those individuals are just viral. I can imagine that my own learning curve might be steepened by a less restrictive exchange among certain members. If you have some effective ideas, perhaps a thread should be started to open a dialog on the matter. Though I am afraid it seems not much can be done to stop it, short of private forums, or constant moderation. Or hope that the individuals will have a change of heart. I will say this much, I am very grateful to those individuals who have brought and continue to bring skill, knowledge and experience into this site and share it, despite the opposition, and I hope that it continues until a soluton presents itself.
Clearly there are Steve, some of them fake dead relatives from 911, sick and perverted stuff indeed! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1192801&highlight=niece+sister#post1192801

Wasn't that the day you couldn't produce a blotter and were so embarrassed you ran like a schoolgirl?
I'm sure you'll find the concepts of infiltration, subterfuge and disinformation beyond you as well But KF and Puretick are fully aware of them now Woodies CCI too but that's another story for another day
