vanzandt quit before day two began. He left the competition thread and blocked me from his own thread outside of the comp. He shorted naked calls on ISRG which would have caused him to DQ had he not already quit. vanzandt stated (above) that he intends to pay Baron. We're going to hold you to that. E-4 washout. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...rading-competition.322518/page-8#post-4681947
Here is what Baron, the owner of Elite Trader, says about Xela, as taken from this thread: "No correlation whatsoever between the IPs of those users. Xela only ever posted from one IP, so no proxies or random IPs. And I looked up that IP to see if was ever used by any other user andit was not." ----- How is it that a small group of grown men go out of their way to treat well meaning and valuable posters like Xela and rin4et so badly they leave this site? Xela'a general popularity and tireless contributions can be clearly seen and rin4et had a knack of asking questions that brought sharp posters and answers out of the woodwork. Seriously... it is no secret that a small number of trolls maliciously pounded on these well meaning posters over and over and over. Is this how we should treat each other? Is this the kind of people we should strive to be?
She left because she did not like the way a number of posters consistently treated her; consistent negativity and even personal attacks.
ok, well I wasn't even posting at the time. Dude, try to stay focused. I've read her last page of posts and there were no signs... and she left of her own accord. She had 246 posts. So exactly what was so overwhelmingly value-add that you cannot get over it? WTF is with you people being taken by female pseudonyms? Are you that hard-up?
